An international team of
researchers drilled a core more than 444 feet into the bed of Lake El’gygytgyn — pronounced
El’gee-git-gin, but generally called just Lake E — in northeastern Russia about 60 miles north of the Arctic
Circle.Lake E was formed about
3.6 million years ago by a meteor that hit the region, leaving an 11-mile wide
crater that has since been filling with sediment. The region is not glaciated,
so the bottom of the lake has not been disturbed.The core yielded data
about conditions in the region for the last 2.8 million years, almost 30 times
as long as the 110,000 years covered by cores drilled in the Arctic ice sheets.Individual layers of the
core can be dated from magnetic field data left behind by the regular
shifts in the Earth’s magnetic field. Data from pollen yields information about
annual temperatures and rainfall.Researchers know that
there have been recurring periods of higher temperatures and increased rainfall
in the Arctic, called interglacials, but those have been relatively modest,
involving temperature increases of a couple of degrees Fahrenheit.

The team reported in the journal Science that they
found periods with much more extreme changes, which they called super
interglacials.They found that
temperatures in two of the super interglacials, one 400,000 years ago and one
1.1 million years ago, were as much as 9 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than during
normal interglacials about 12,000 and 125,000 years ago.There was also about 12
inches more rainfall during the super interglacials. With such increased
temperatures and rainfall, the team said,Greenland’s ice sheet could not have
existed in its current form.Simulations using
state-of-the-art computer climate models show that neither
changes in the Earth’s orbit nor high levels of greenhouse gases could produce
such changes alone.The team compared their
results to those from the Antarctic Geological Drilling Project and found that
periods when the West Antarctic ice sheet melted coincided with the super
interglacials in the Arctic. They offered two potential explanations for how
the two polar regions could be connected:First, reduced glacial ice
cover and loss of ice shelves in Antarctica could have limited formation of
cold bottom water masses that flow into the North Pacific Ocean and
upwell to the surface. Fewer movements of such masses could lead to warmer
surface waters, higher temperatures and increased precipitation on land.A second possibility, they
say, is that disintegration of the West Antarctic ice sheet may have led to
significant increases in global sea level, allowing more warm surface waters to
reach the Arctic Ocean through the Bering Strait.Whatever the cause, they
concluded, it is clear we need to learn much more about the Earth’s climatic
past.The El’gygytgyn Drilling
Project is part of the International Continental Drilling Project sponsored by
the U.S., Germany, Austria and Russia.

As many as 32,000 underwater mountains
have been identified around the world and the majority are believed to be
volcanic in origin. Several thousand of these may be active but a combination
of ocean depth and remoteness means that very few have been studied.I have pointed out
before that nobody knows how many active volcanoes there are on the floor of
the oceans. Hence, nobody knows how much heat is poured into the oceans by
volcanoes. It therefore follows that it is actually impossible to calculate the
extent of the human contributions to ocean warming, even though that is a claim
the carbonazis make all the time.

The story of melting glaciers has been
told ad nauseam by climate catastrophists and the scientifically gullible news
media for years. This blog has reported on the purported “rapid melting” of the
Himalayan glaciers several times before (see “Himalayan Glaciers Not Melting”
and “Himalayan Glacier Disappearance Overstated”). It is true that glaciers
melt, they are the primary source of water in a number of regions around the
world.As I have often stated, this is an
interglacial period, ice is supposed to melt. Otherwise there would still be a
mile of ice on top of New York City. But despite evidence to the contrary,
warmists continue to claim that glaciers are disappearing at an alarming rate.

The peace-loving tree huggers at the
UN have devised a plan for the world. The friendly folks a the UN's Department
for Sustainable Development have a master plan for us all.Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of
action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the
United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which
human impacts on the environment.So let's see if we understand this
correctly. A plan of action. Got it. To be taken globally...okay - everyone
must participate. In every area in which human impacts on the environment....yep,
that covers everyone and everything in the entire world. It's a warm fuzzy way
to take over the world! Group hug, anyone?

Extremist green campaigning group WWF
- endorsed by no less a body than the European Space Agency - has stated that
economic growth should be abandoned, that citizens of the world's wealthy
nations should prepare for poverty and that all the human race's energy should
be produced as renewable electricity within 38 years from now.Most astonishingly of all, the green
hardliners demand that the enormous numbers of wind farms, tidal barriers and
solar powerplants required under their plans should somehow be built while at
the same time severely rationing supplies of concrete, steel, copper and glass.The WWF presents these demands in its just-issued Living Planet Report for 2012. It's a
remarkable document, not least for the fact that it is formally endorsed for
the first time by the European Space Agency (ESA) - an organisation which would
cease to exist in any meaningful form if the document's recommendations were to
be carried out.

I have spent many hours researching
what the meaning of some plaques I read and photographed when I was up in the
Smoky Mountains a couple of weeks ago. Did you know they are a "UN WORLD
HERITAGE" site and a "UN Biosphere Reserve?" Along with most of
our other "National Parks"?Extensive research at the link - what
the meaning is and who really does "own and control" the U.S.
National parks and the areas around them. Lots of information in the article.

Here are the
pictures I took and what the plaques say:

I thought "What the Hell is a UN World Heritage site?" The way
it read to me is that the Smoky Mountains are not actually a National Park of
the United States and thus the People of the United States are not the owners,
but is controlled by the United Nations.

Did our U.S. government give up our national park to the UN in 1983?

I am sure the average person who reads the plaques think "Oh, how awesome
these mountains are considered 'World owned mountains and are protected through
the UN.'

But for those of us who know about the UN Agenda 21, we know that it means the
U.S gives up Sovereignty to the UN to become a "One World Government and
control of land and resources."

Needless to say the above plaques disturbed me and I wanted to know exactly
what their meaning was.

I have now done the research and havefound the U.S. government has
given the UN control of most of our National Parks, including the Grand Canyon,
Yosemite, Yellowstone, Redwood Forest, Mammoth Caves, Statue of Liberty,
Olympic National Park, the Everglades, the list goes on. Here is the
map of the 21 sites that the U.S. has allowed the UN to have as "World
Heritage" sites.

Properties
inscribed on the World Heritage List (21)

WHO
OWNS WORLD HERITAGE SITES?

It is true
that you will not find any UN documents clearly stating that the world body
controls or owns American soil through the World Heritage Site Treaty. It is
also true that you will not find blue-helmeted UN soldiers standing guard over
any of the sites.

To fully understand the threat to American sovereignty posed by the UN
designation of World Heritage Sites, one must first link this program to a
series of other treaties and policies, and how they impact American sovereignty.
Above all, one must understand that many in our government see such programs as
another tool to build massive federal land-control programs.

There is strong evidence of close collaboration between the U.S. Park Service
and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Committee. There is also strong evidence
that the designation of UN World Heritage Sites goes hand in hand with the
Administration’s Sustainable Development program. That program is nothing
less than a massive federal zoning program that dictates property development
on the local level, in the name of protecting the environment. The goal of
Sustainable Development is to lock up vast areas of American land, and shield
it from private use.

The designation of United Nations’ World Heritage Sites and Biosphere
Reserves can and does result in the centralization of policy-making authority
at the federal level, particularly by the Executive Branch. Once a UN
designation is made and accepted by the Federal Government there is literally
no opportunity for private American land owners to dispute it or undo the
designation.

Private property rights literally disappear, not only in the officially
designated area, but worse, in buffer zones OUTSIDE the designated area.
Not only has the federal government been using these treaties and agreements to
limit access to, and use of these lands to all Americans, but they also have
used the UN designations to limit use of private property OUTSIDE the
boundaries of the site.

That is exactly
what happened outside of Yellowstone National Park (a World Heritage Site) when
UNESCO delegates were called in by the Park Service in an attempt to stop the
development of a gold mine - located OUTSIDE the park. The UNESCO delegates
declared Yellowstone to be the first “endangered” World Heritage Site and called
for a protective buffer zone of 150-MILES IN DIAMETER AROUND THE ENTIRE PARK.
The buffer zone would stop development and access to millions of acres of
private property. Such is the purpose of the World Heritage Sites.

Moreover, in becoming party to these international land-use designations
through Executive Branch action, the United States is indirectly agreeing to
terms of international treaties, such as the Biodiversity Treaty - a UN treaty
that has never been ratified by the United States Senate.

Nevertheless, in 1994, the U.S. State Department published the “Strategic Plan
for the U.S. Biosphere Reserve Program.” Taken straight from the unratified
Biodiversity Treaty, the State Department program is to “create a national
network of biosphere reserves that represents the biogeographical diversity of
the United States and fulfills the internationally established roles and
functions of biosphere reserves.”

A chief tactic used by the UN and the Federal Government when designating a
biosphere reserve or a World Heritage Site is to rarely involve or consult with
the public and local governments. In fact, UNESCO policy actually discourages
an open nomination for World Heritage Sites. The “Operational Guidelines for
the Implementations of the World Heritage Convention” states:

“In all cases, as to maintain the objectivity of the evaluation process and to
avoid possible embarrassment to those concerned, State (national) parties
should refrain from giving undue publicity to the fact that a property has been
nominated inscription pending the final decision of the Committee of the
nomination in question. Participation of the local people in the nomination
process is essential to make them feel a shared responsibility with the State
party in the maintenance of the site, but should not prejudice future
decision-making by the committee.”

In other words, the nominating committee is to hide the fact that a massive
land grab is about to take place. Then, at the appropriate moment, the
committee is to involve some local yokels to make them think they have
something to say about the grab, then send them away, so that the committee can
move ahead, unhindered. They aren’t suppose to worry about the fact that
private landowners have just lost control of their property.

This is not the way the U.S. Constitution says things
should be done. This is how despots at the United Nations run things. The Administration is allowing them to do it for the sake of more
Federal power.

By allowing these
international land use designations, the United States promises to protect the
sites and REGULATE surrounding lands if necessary to protect the UN-designated
area. Honoring these agreements forces the Federal Government to PROHIBIT or
limit some uses of private lands outside the international designated area
UNLESS OUR COUNTRY WANTS TO BREAK A PLEDGE TO OTHER NATIONS.

In a nutshell, here is the real game
being played. Through such policies, the Federal Government is binding our
nation to international treaties and agreements that stipulate that the United
States will manage these lands in a prescribed manner in order to achieve
certain international goals and objectives. In other words, we have agreed to
limit our right of sovereignty over these lands.

That is why it is charged that World Heritage Sites are an infringement on
United States sovereignty. You won’t find the smoking gun by reading the
treaties. It can only be found in understanding the “intent” and the
“implementation” of the policies.

So, when you
go to our gorgeous "National" Parks, you will now know they are not
really National Parks but are UN controlled "World" Parks.

In a remarkable monograph, Roy W.
Spencer presents hard evidence that 75% of the observed warming since the start
of the 20th century is due to natural processes. He offers a detailed model
describing how one of these processes, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO),
operates in the real world. Most importantly, he demonstrates that
anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is a minor contributor to a global climate
largely insensitive to man-made CO2. Thanks to this highly skilled
climatologist and his The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature
Fooled The World's Top Climate Scientists, we can now taunt the often corrupt
and overtly political planetary high priests with this: PDO means AGW is DOA.

For decades, the heartland of America
has been the breadbasket of the world. Unfortunately, those days will shortly
come to an end. The central United States is rapidly drying up and dust bowl
conditions will soon return. There are a couple of major reasons for this.
Number one, the Ogallala Aquifer is being depleted at an astounding pace. The
Ogallala Aquifer is one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the entire
world, and water from it currently irrigates more than 15 million acres of
crops. When that water is gone we will be in a world of hurt. Secondly, drought
conditions have become the “new normal” in many areas of Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas and other states in the middle part of the country.This is one of the many reasons for growing and
preserving as much food as you possibly can, in case of shortages. Even if you live in a condo or apartment, you can
manage to use pots in which you can cultivate fruits and vegetables appropriate
to the climate in which you live.

Chick peas, fava beans and other seeds
from a facility in Syria are among the 25,000 new samples being deposited this
week in an Arctic seed vault built to protect food crops from wars and natural
disasters, officials said Tuesday. The latest additions mean that the
Svalbard Global Seed Vault -- a master backup to the world's other seed banks
-- has now secured more than 740,000 samples since it opened in a remote
Norwegian archipelago in 2008.That represents an estimated
three-quarters of the biological diversity of the world's major food crops,
said Cary Fowler, executive director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, which
maintains the vault with Norway's government and the Nordic Genetic Resources Center.

The heaviest snowfall in Montenegro in
63 years has sealed off hundreds of villages, shutting down roads and railways
and closing the main airport in the tiny Balkan state on Saturday.The government has said it is
considering introducing a state of emergency throughout the country.The snow virtually sealed off the
capital Podgorica, closing its airport and hampering rail and road traffic. At
52 centimeters (20 inches) high, it was the worst fall in the capital since
1949.

Frigid temperatures have gripped
Europe in the last week, with the mercury reaching as low as 35 degrees Celsius
below zero. After what had been a relatively mild winter, the sudden cold
caught many unprepared. Eastern Europe is hardest hit, with over 100 deaths in
Ukraine, and with over 11,000 people in remote villages cut off by snow in
Serbia. Most of the fatalities recorded have been homeless people found frozen
to death outside, and emergency tents with hot meals have been set up to help
them in several affected countries. Russia and Poland are mobilizing help for
the homeless. Travel in Romania has been chaos as a blizzard hampered efforts
to clear both rails and roads. Recorded temperatures in Italy were the lowest
in 27 years.Al Gore: Snow is a thing of the past

“Forecasters predict that a new ice
age will begin soon,” says this article on russia-ic.com.“Habibullo Abdusamatov, a scientist
from the Pulkovo Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences considers that
the sharp drop in temperature will start on the Earth in 2014.“According to the scientist, our
planet began to “get cold” in the 1990s. The new ice age will last at least two
centuries, with its peak in 2055.“It is interesting, that the same date
was chosen by the supporters of the theory of global warming.

Agenda 21 has been broken up and
repackaged as three new organizations:America 2050, Forum for the Future,
and the Rewilding Project. The re-branding of Agenda 21 also allows the
globalists to advance another older concepts that has been in the works for a
long time, mainly The North American Union.Through these three organizations, the
globalists have implemented and started executing a strategy that will bring
about an Orwellian state where all 50 states are merged into mega regions and
where people are rationed food, water, and energy. Get
ready... get set....

The so-called Durban Package will, for
the first time, bring all greenhouse-gas users into a common legal regime under
the UN flag, in the aim of cranking the carbon combat into higher gear.And there, just as I
warned you, is the doorway to global dictatorship, a dictatorship brought into
being by fraud, which means a dictatorship that can never allow freedom of
speech, freedom of inquiry, a dictatorship that will have to be history's worst
tyranny merely to survive its own creation.

You do realize that it
is summer down there, right? :) Actually, this is a
repeat of Ramses BS about the Hittites, knowing the Egyptian people couldn't
check up on him. Too many people are able to walk down to the beach and take
temperature readings for themselves, so this cock and bull story about how the
oceans are getting much warmer .... someplace you can't get to to verify for
yourself, is the latest hail-Mary pass to sell the carbon tax and the global
government agenda in a demonstrably cooler world.

not
to be a trouble maker but……if we are going to really get into the paleo stuff,
maybe someone(s) ought to have another look at Mann’s paper. His statistics
were suspect as i remember. for instance, i seem to remember he used, say, 4 EOFs as predictors.
But he prescreened them and threw one away because it was not useful. then made
a model with the remaining three, ignoring the fact he had originally
considered 4 predictors. He never added an artifical skill measure to account for this but based significance on 3 predictors.
Might not make any difference. My memory is probably faulty on these issues,
but to be completely even handed we ought to be sure we agree with his
procedures. best, tim

It’s interesting how much evidence
there is now that the Hockey Stick was known to be a problem.I think herein I will refer to Mann’s
hockey stick as the Hockey Schtick
— not science, just a gimmick to promote an alarmist’s agenda.

New and explosive revelations continue
to emerge from the Climategate 2 emails, two weeks after the 5,000-plus emails
were first publicly unveiled. While Climategate 2 does not share the “novelty
factor” of Climategate 1, the contents of the Climategate 2 emails are at least
as appalling as Climategate 1. Most importantly, the Climategate 2 emails show
scientists at the forefront of global warming activism acknowledging serious
flaws in alarmist global warming theory, working together to hide data
contradicting alarmist global warming theory, and taking concerted and
nefarious action to ruin the careers of scientists and peer-reviewed science
journal editors who publish studies and data that undermine alarmist global
warming claims.

The
man-made warming activists at the UN are trapped in turmoil over how to deal
with the earth’s lack of warming since 1998. A couple of weeks ago, the UN
climate panel circulated a draft statement that would have admitted we’re
unlikely to have any further earth-warming for the next 30 years “because
climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural
climate variability.”The BBC’s environmental reporter
Richard Black reported that he’d received a copy of that draft. Black said he
expected member governments to reject the statement, however, because it would
embarrass the first-world governments’ green energy subsidies and taxes agenda.
It would also have finally killed the world’s climate-terror campaign.Dennis T. Avery, a senior fellow
for the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., is an environmental economist. He
was formerly a senior analyst for the Department of State.

reduce their 'carbon footprint'Psuedo science is a live and well, that's why
horoscopes get a full page in news papers. In general people are gullible and
stupid.Furious parents vented their anger at
a headteacher who turned off his school's heating on one of the coldest days of
the year. Pupils at Ansford Academy in Castle
Cary, Somerset, were forced to grip their pens through thick gloves and wear
their coats and hats in class as temperatures dropped to 1C.The school's headmaster, Rob Benzie,
shut down the radiators as an experiment to show students how the school could
cut its carbon footprint.But staff and parents condemned the
plan, branding it 'barbaric' and 'beyond stupid'.One teacher said: 'It was absolutely
ridiculous I have never experienced working in such cold conditions.'I am all for saving the environment
but to conduct an "experiment" as the head calls it on such a cold
day is beyond stupid.'The kids were complaining, no one was
working properly some of them could not even write because they could not grip
a pen through woolly gloves.'We have a number of pupils with
mental and physical disabilities here and they really struggled with the cold.'It was unnecessary and in my opinion
barbaric.' Temperatures dropped as low as one
degree Celsius in Castle Carey last Friday - the coldest of the winter so far. One father said: 'I was just shocked
when I found out what had happened.'I have never heard of such a
ridiculous idea. Turning off all the heating in December is just mental.'The kids could get sick I can't
believe any of them learnt anything.'I know when I am cold I can hardly
function. I'm absolutely furious with the school.' But headteacher Mr Benzie, 52,
defended the day, saying it was 'a success.' 'We turned off the heating as an
experiment to see if we can lower our carbon footprint,' he said.'We allowed pupils to wear as many
jumpers as they liked and everyone seemed to be happy enough although it did
get pretty chilly.'We gave letters to pupils to take
home to their parents informing them about the eco day.'We only had one complaint and that
came from a member of staff but they just got on with it in the end.' Mr Benzie said he hoped to repeat the
eco day again next term.'I considered the day a success, said.
'In fact I believe we have too much
heating.'On occasions I have had to turn it
down as too much heat can make the students fall asleep.'The idea was actually thought up by a
small group of pupils from our student eco-group.

With another snowy season upon us,
three major cities announced upgrades to their winter weather equipment, which
will help better prepare the roads for travel when the weather hits. Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago
have all readied themselves for the upcoming season by purchasing new slow

Where are the headlines? Where are the
press releases? Where is all the attention?The ice melt across during the
Antarctic summer (October-January) of 2008-2009 was the lowest ever
recorded in the satellite history. Such was the finding reported last
week by Marco Tedesco and Andrew Monaghan in the journal Geophysical
Research Letters:A 30-year minimum Antarctic snowmelt
record occurred during austral summer 2008–2009 according to spaceborne
microwave observations for 1980–2009. Strong positive phases of both the
El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode
(SAM) were recorded during the months leading up to and including the 2008–2009

A blockbuster Chinese
study of Tibetan tree rings by Liu et al 2011 shows, with detail, that the
modern era is a dog-standard normal climate when compared to the last 2,500
years. The temperature, the rate of change — it’s all been seen before. Nothing
about the current period is “abnormal”, indeed the current warming period in
Tibet can be produced through calculation of cycles. Liu et al do a Fourier
analysis on the underlying cycles and do brave predictions as well.

In Tibet, it was about the same
temperature on at least four occasions — back in late Roman times (those
chariots!), then again in the dark ages (blame the collapse of industry), then
in the middle ages (the Vikings?), then in modern times (blame the rise of
industry).Clearly, these climate cycles have
nothing to with human civilization. Their team finds natural cycles of many
different lengths are at work: 2-3 years, 100 years, 199 years, 800 years, and
1,324 years. The cold periods are associated with sunspot cycles. What we are
not used to seeing are brave scientists willing to publish exact predictions of
future temperatures for 100 years that include rises and falls.
Apparently, it will cool til 2068, then warm again, though not to the same
warmth as 2006 levels.

Congress isn't getting a glimpse of
what's on President Barack Obama's Blackberry - or any more internal White
House communications related to the bankrupt solar company Solyndra, which
received a $535 million loan guarantee from the federal government.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Wait a moment. The cops
can copy off your smart phone without a warrant when they pull you over for a
traffic ticket, but the President's Blackberry is safe from a Congressional
investigation? Can you say "Double
Standard?" Can you say "Dictatorship?"

The emails, obtained by several news
organizations, implicate the most senior levels of the Obama administration in
the scandal, which has tainted the White House since the solar company went
bankrupt last month, leaving taxpayers on the hook for a $534 billion federal
loan.One email, obtained by the Washington
Post, suggests that Obama and/or his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was actively
involved in trying to get Solyndra's loan application approved in time for a
September 2009 press conference.

If pleading the "Fifth"
smells, the Solyndra drama will prove the stereotype applies in this instance.
A good old-fashioned scandal in an election year pumps up the media juices. The
timeline on Solyndra tells only part of the history. The linkage of corporate
cronyism dodges the real world result of "Green Energy" frauds. These
shams can be traced back to the Enron schemes, especially their industrial wind
model that defrauds the public...

Fast running out of money just two
years after winning a half-billion dollars in federal loan guarantees, solar
panel maker Solyndra LLC this spring looked overseas to India in hopes of
finding new business to turn the company around.Solyndra, which only months earlier
had hosted President Obama during a tour of its headquarters, hired the Rice
Hadley Group, a consulting firm founded by former Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice.

A Daily Caller investigation has found
that in addition to the failed company Solyndra, at least four other solar
panel manufacturing companies receiving in excess of $500 million in loan
guarantees from the Obama administration employ executives or board members who
have donated large sums of money to Democratic campaigns.

It’s as if Solyndra never happened.
The Obama Administration is giving $737 million to a Tonopah Solar, a
subsidiary of California-based SolarReserve. PCG is an investment partner with
SolarReserve. Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law happens to be the number two man at

Hindsight being 20/20, and yours truly
being, shall we say, iconoclastic, today's headlines and a little research led
to an enthusiastic livingroom 'neener-neener' dance on behalf of CERN's Dr.
Kirkby, for Transmitting the Light of Actual Science to the bloggers,
theorists, and scientists that, because of his work, are now better armed against
the lock-step, carbon-trading, guilt-mongering heathen.In 1998 he was ridiculed for daring to
question Global Warming. and his research was suddenly shelved. Nine years
later, CERN picks up where it left off, and the results were in this July.

Scientists have demonstrated a clear
link between the 11-year sun cycle and winter weather over the northern
hemisphere for the first time. They found that low solar activity can
contribute to cold winters in the UK, northern Europe and parts of America. But
high activity from the sun has the opposite effect.The study helps explain why the UK has
been gripped by such cold winters over the last few years: the sun is just
emerging from a so-called solar minimum, when solar activity is at its lowest.

At 31 seconds into the

With the Western nations

their effort to fundamentally alter the global economy to serve their own ends

With
the Western nations continuing their downward economic spiral, the advocates of
the United Nations’ redistributionist schemes also continue to exploit the
environmental agenda in their effort to fundamentally alter the global economy
to serve their own ends.

Despite
the failure of the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009 to
achieve its goal of a treaty binding the industrialized world to an economic
suicide pact, the "voluntary" agreements are still a threat to the
West. The UN is engaged in an effort to use the imagined environmental crisis
as the justification for a program of sweeping economic redistribution that
would shift trillions of dollars from the industrialized nations to the Third
World. The UN is now demanding an “investment” of $1.9 trillion per year in
“green technology” to meet the goals that the internationalists have set for
the nations of the world. An AFP story entitled “World needs $1.9tn a year for green technology:UN” sets
forth the lament of an elite for whom “real money” is measured in tens of
trillions of dollars:

"Over the next 40 years, $1.9 trillion (1.31 trillion euros) per year
will be needed for incremental investments in green technologies," the UN
Economic and Social Affairs body said in its annual survey.

In
other words, the costly “feel good” language adopted at Copenhagen — though far
from the crushing obligations a treaty would have imposed — still means the World Bank and
the United Nations will be playing the role of an international collection
agency, metaphorically beating on the doors of various heads of state
until they “cough up” the demanded funds.

The
cost of “going green” continues its steady upward climb with every new
pronouncement from the UN. As
reported for The New American in March 2010, the UN plan would
eventually cost $45
trillion, with most of that cost coming from the First World:

According to the Earth Summit 2012 website, the
goals of the conference will be in line with the Copenhagen agenda: Wrapping
economic redistribution in a green mantle.

The United Nations General Assembly agreed to a
new Earth Summit in December. The Summit will be in 2012 and will be hosted by
Brazil. The themes are the Green Economy in the context of sustainable
development and poverty eradication, the institutional framework for
sustainable development, emerging issues and a review of present commitments.

The term
“sustainable” in such a context is usually a buzzword for “governmentally
controlled.” Although the
plan is still wrapped in green, the dream of “poverty eradication” is coming to
the fore.

Now,
the $45 trillion has grown to an even more incomprehensible $76 trillion
(based on the proposed 40 years of spending $1.9 trillion per year).

Now,
the $45 trillion has grown to an even more incomprehensible $76 trillion
(based on the proposed 40 years of spending $1.9 trillion per year). Calling
such a reckless demand “outrageous” and “unsustainable” still falls short —
what is demanded is nothing less than the conversion of much of what remains of
the economies of the developed world into a means of funneling wealth to the
World Bank, which will, ostensibly, redistribute those funds to the Third
World.

The
human cost of such redistributionist schemes is regularly ignored. The shaky
“science” of anthropogenic global warming is so full of holes than it has lost
much of its credibility in the eyes of so many people that it is often
perceived to be the pet theory of environmentalist fanatics, scientists who
have staked their careers on the theory, and politicians (and others) who stand
to profit either financially or politically from the schemes that have been
hatched to ameliorate its supposed effects.

The
problem for the environmentalists and the internationalists is that panicking
nations may no longer be willing to sacrifice their future for the sake of a
theory that is steadily unraveling.

BONN,
Germany, June 5 (Reuters) - The World Bank will suggest a global levy on jet
and shipping fuel in recommendations to G20 governments later this year on
raising climate finance, a senior official said on Sunday.

Developed
countries have already written off chances of agreement on a new binding deal
at a U.N. conference in Durban this year, placing a new focus on piecemeal
efforts including fund-raising.

The whole global
warming scam is merely a doorway to global government.

The "Australian Carbon
Tax" is completely unnecessary. Most significantly there are huge
contradictions between the global warming claims being made in the media, in
support of the tax, and the hard science that is used to support the position.
The problem for those advocating a human induced warming hypothesis is the
undistorted long-term temperature record plus recent monitoring that shows much
hotter conditions during the last two thousand years and a cooling during the
last decade. The correlation between human carbon producing activity and
climate change is not at all established.Even as the
Australians are being hit with a major tax supposedly to fight global warming,
Australia is sinking into another record cold winter.

John Bryson, President
Obama’s nominee to head the Commerce Department, told a University of
California Berkeley audience in 2010 that a cap and trade system was a good way
to hide a carbon tax from the public. “Greenhouse gas legislation, either with
a tax or with cap and trade – which is a more complicated way of getting at it
but it has the advantage of politically sort of hiding the fact that you have a
tax – but that’s what you’re trying to do,” he added.

Natural NewsThe United Nations may soon
announce that merely by changing the color of its soldiers’ helmets from blue
to green, it can intervene in the business of sovereign nations under the guise
of so-called “climate change peacekeeping.”As you consider this, keep
in mind that the current bombing of infrastructure in Libya is also brazenly
called “peacekeeping.” In fact, there’s hardly a military campaign that’s been
conducted in the last hundreds years that wasn’t sold to the public as a way to
create “peace.” Now, the UN is on the verge of “waging peace” wearing green

Meanwhile, your Internet search has just helped kill the planet. Depending on

Editors Note: The idea that a East Anglia's CRU is compelled to hire a public
relations firm over questions regarding its scientific research is absurd.
Their research should stand on its own.

Today brings news of the arrest of the managing director of a firm hired by the
University of East Anglia’s CRU (Climatic Research Unit) to carry out “covert”
operations (h/t reader Chu here).
Neil Wallis of Outside
Organisation was arrested today in
connection with the spreading News of the World scandal.

Last year, Wallis’ partner at Outside Organisation , Alan Edwards, was profiled
in Music Week in a story that led with:

Don’t tell the conspiracy theorists. But
one PR company was at the centre of the Michael Jackson funeral, Climategate
and Naomi Campbell’s appearance at Charles Taylor’s trial in The Hague.

Less apparent is its work in the corporate
field, where its activities tend to be rather more covert. [my bold]

“We don’t advertise a lot of the things we
do,” says Edwards, who was called in by the University of East Anglia when
Climategate blew up. “That was really interesting. It’s very high level, and
you’re very much in the background on that sort of thing.”
The university’s Climatic Research Unit wanted Outside to fire back some shots
on the scientists’ behalf after leaked emails from the unit gave climate change
skeptics ammunition and led to an avalanche of negative press about whether
global warming was a real possibility.

Armed troops
acting on behalf of a British carbon trading company backed by the World Bank
burned houses to the ground and killed children to evict Ugandans from their
homes in the name of seizing land to protect against “global warming,” a
shocking illustration of how the climate change con is a barbarian form of
neo-colonialism.

The evictions were ordered by New Forests Company, an outfit that seizes land
in Africa to grow trees then sells the “carbon credits” on to transnational
corporations. The company is backed by the World Bank and HSBC. Its
Board of Directors includes HSBC Managing Director Sajjad Sabur, as well as
other former Goldman Sachs investment bankers.

The company
claims residents of Kicucula left in a “peaceful” and “voluntary” manner, and
yet the people tell a story of terror and bloodshed.

Villagers told of how armed “security forces” stormed their village and torched
houses, burning an eight-year-child to death as they threatened to murder
anyone who resisted while beating others.

“We were in church,” recalled Jean-Marie Tushabe, 26, a father of two. “I heard
bullets being shot into the air.”

“Cars were coming with police,” Mr. Tushabe said, sitting among the ruins of
his old home. “They headed straight to the houses. They took our plates, cups,
mattresses, bed, pillows. Then we saw them getting a matchbox out of their
pockets.”

“But in this case, the government and the company said the settlers were
illegal and evicted for a good cause: to protect the environment and help fight
global warming,” reports
the New York Times.

An Oxfam report documents how the British outfit has worked with the Ugandan
government to forcibly expel over 20,000 people from their homes using terror
and violence as part of a lucrative scramble for arable land that can be used
to satisfy the multi-billion dollar carbon trading ponzi scheme, which is worth
$1.8 million a year to the company.

“I no longer own any land. It’s impossible to feed my children – they have
suffered so much. Some days all they eat is porridge from maize flour. When
people can’t eat well their bodies become weak – there have been lots of cases
of malaria and diarrhoea. Some days we don’t eat anything at all,” said
former farmer Francis Longoli, whose land was stolen by New Forests.

As we have previously documented, the manufactured threat of man-made global
warming is being used as a tool of neo-colonialism in the third world, not only
through the seizure of land and infrastructure, thereby preventing poor nations
from using their resources to develop, but by literally starving
poverty-stricken people to death.

Actually the paper
Reconciling anthropogenic climate change with observed temperature 1998-2008
[PDF] by a team led by Robert Kaufmann at the Department of Geography at Boston
University demonstrates no such thing. What it shows – yet again and in
excelsis – is the chutzpah and threadbare desperation of the “scientists”
involved in the Great Global Warming Boondoggle. Rather than admit that their
Ponzi scheme is dead in the water, they try to dazzle us with new imaginative
theories which prove that, even though they’re wrong they are in fact right.

http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com/The most sophisticated sea level
satellite is Envisat. It doesn’t show any sea level rise since it was launched
in 2002, so our friends in the sea level community tried to hide it by painting
it almost invisible yellow and not normalising the data properly.The animation above corrects those
problems, and shows how completely bogus the claimed trend is.

Smoke
belching from Asia's rapidly growing economies is largely responsible for a
halt in global warming in the decade after 1998 because of sulphur's cooling
effect, even though greenhouse gas emissions soared, a U.S. study said on
Monday.

***

World
temperatures did not rise from 1998 to 2008, while manmade emissions of carbon
dioxide from burning fossil fuel grew by nearly a third, various data show.

The
researchers from Boston and Harvard Universities and Finland's University of
Turku said pollution, and specifically sulphur emissions, from coal-fueled
growth in Asia was responsible for the cooling effect.

Sulphur
allows water drops or aerosols to form, creating hazy clouds which reflect
sunlight back into space.

***

Sulphur
aerosols may remain in the atmosphere for several years, meaning their cooling
effect will gradually abate once smokestack industries clean up.

The
study echoed a similar explanation for reduced warming between the 1940s and
1970s, blamed on sulphur emissions before Western economies cleaned up largely
to combat acid rain.

"The
post 1970 period of warming, which constitutes a significant portion of the
increase in global surface temperature since the mid 20th century, is driven by
efforts to reduce air pollution," it said.

Indeed,
given that scientists now say
that the sun may be headed into a lengthy period of low activity,
it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Global
warming advocates will point to the portions of the report stating that warming
will re-start once China cleans up its coal industry and the low period of
solar activity has ended. Global warming skeptics will point to the end of the
warming trend despite increased C02 output as disproving mainstream global
warming models. One thing is for sure: climate is not a single equation, but a
complicated series of interactions between different forces, and - whatever our
beliefs on this issue - we should all strive to make sure that we do
more good than harm.

Global
greenhouse gas emissions have risen even faster during the past decade than
predicted by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) and other international agencies. According to alarmist groups, this
proves global warming is much worse than previously feared. The increase in
emissions “should shock even the most jaded negotiators” at international
climate talks currently taking place in Bonn, Germany, the UK Guardian reports. But there’s only one problem with
this storyline; global temperatures have not increased at all during the past
decade.

The
evidence is powerful, straightforward, and damning. NASA satellite instruments
precisely measuring global temperatures show absolutely no warming during the past 10 years.
This is the case for the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes, including the United States. This is the case for the Arctic, where the signs of human-caused global warming are
supposed to be first and most powerfully felt. This is the case forglobal sea surface temperatures, which alarmists claim
should be sucking up much of the predicted human-induced warming. This is the
case for the planet as
a whole.

If
atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are the sole or primary driver of global
temperatures, then where is all the global warming? We’re talking 10 years of
higher-than-expected increases in greenhouse gases, yet 10 years of absolutely
no warming. That’s 10 years of nada, nunca, nein, zero, and zilch.

NASA
satellite instruments cannot be infected with politics like the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change can be and has been.

This
is where my skepticism on man made global warming comes from. It’s time for a
group of non partisan scientists begin again, and give us data that we can
trust.

The science behind the
anthropogenic global warming theory appears to be falling apart with each new
scientific study. Global warming, now often referred to as "climate
change," is still reported as fact in every establishment publication
despite increasing evidence to the contrary. It's difficult to argue that the
climate is not shifting in some noticeable way, yet recent reports clearly show
that the science is not as settled as some global warming advocates would
suggest.

NASA
satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is
allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models
have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote
Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur
than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies
indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than
alarmists have claimed.

Study
co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of
Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave
Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world
data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into
alarmist computer models.

"The
satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during
and after warming than the climate models show," Spencer said in a July 26
University of Alabama press release. "There is a huge discrepancy between
the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."

In addition
to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models
have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding
heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.

The
new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global
warming debate.

Scientists
on all sides of the global warming debate are in general agreement about how
much heat is being directly trapped by human emissions of carbon dioxide (the
answer is "not much"). However, the single most important issue in
the global warming debate is whether carbon dioxide emissions will indirectly
trap far more heat by causing large increases in atmospheric humidity and
cirrus clouds. Alarmist computer models assume human carbon dioxide emissions
indirectly cause substantial increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus
clouds (each of which are very effective at trapping heat), but real-world data
have long shown that carbon dioxide emissions are not causing as much atmospheric
humidity and cirrus clouds as the alarmist computer models have predicted.

The
new NASA Terra satellite data are consistent with long-term NOAA and NASA data
indicating atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds are not increasing in the
manner predicted by alarmist computer models. The Terra satellite data also
support data collected by NASA's ERBS satellite showing far more longwave
radiation (and thus, heat) escaped into space between 1985 and 1999 than
alarmist computer models had predicted. Together, the NASA ERBS and Terra satellite
data show that for 25 years and counting, carbon dioxide emissions have
directly and indirectly trapped far less heat than alarmist computer models
have predicted.

In
short, the central premise of alarmist global warming theory is that carbon
dioxide emissions should be directly and indirectly trapping a certain amount
of heat in the earth's atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space.
Real-world measurements, however, show far less heat is being trapped in the
earth's atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat
is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.

When
objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal,
show a "huge discrepancy" between alarmist climate models and
real-world facts, climate scientists, the media and our elected officials would
be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal
about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmism truly are.

Since 1998, climate
scientists have attempted to reconstruct global annual temperature over the
last millennium using natural proxies such as tree rings and ice cores.
However, a new study finds substantial uncertainty in these reconstructions.

Global warming may occur
slower and correct itself faster than computer models have been predicting, a
new study says.The study, published in the
peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing by Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal
research scientist in the Earth System Science Center at The University of
Alabama in Huntsville, reports the atmosphere may shed heat much faster than
previously thought — a potentially serious problem for the computer models used
to predict global climate trends.

According
to a study led by the Rovira i Virgili University the scientific community to
access and analyze only 20% of the recorded climate information the world has
on hand. The rest... well it's never made it into digital format.

In a
world that is reliant on information being accessible via computer, having 80%
of the historical climate data ever recorded exist offline is a serious problem
to understanding and predicting the path and impact of future climate change.

In a
press release, Manola Brunet, lead author of the study and a researcher at
the URV's Centre for Climate Change, states that in Europe, some records go
back as far as the 17th century, but only a small fraction is available to
researchers.

The computer models are running on just 1/5 the
available information. And as the below article on cosmic rays shows, the
models do not actually include all factors.

Scientific theory says it's
only necessary for one observable example to show a theory wrong. And all you
have to do is observe Venus through satellite data and compare it to earth.
Venus with it's atmosphere containing 96.5 percent carbon dioxide has the same
atmospheric temperature vs. atmospheric pressure as Earth with it's 0.04
percent carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has no
observable effect on temperature.

Editor's Note: In addition to
volcanoes, China, aerosals and the burning of fossil fuels, oceans are now
fingered for the reason why global warming hasn't manifested in the way it was
so definitively predicted 10 years ago. With the scramble to implement policy
in the face of a changing reality, advocates for anthropogenic global warming
have turn to hysterical tactics to justify the need to curb CO2. They have
recently dismissed all skeptics by categorizing them as white male
conservatives and suggested that space aliens are a good reason to tax us
whenever we exhale.Recently, HSBC has hired troops to
clear land in Uganda to realize carbon tax credits. Indigenous homes were
burned to the ground and at least one 8-year old child was burned to death as a
result.

The world's most high-profile climate
change sceptic is set to have his funding scrapped.Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical
Environmentalist and bête noire of climate change activists around the world,
has been told that the incoming Danish government will cut off his £1m a year
funding.Mr Lomborg, whose 2001 book suggested
the planet should adapt to global warming rather than wasting resources trying
to prevent it, has made his name by accusing scientists and others of
exaggerating the extent and effects of climate change.

Times Inc.If polar bears had any clue
of the scale of speculation about the extinction threat they are facing due to
climate change, they would have probably said "you're kidding,
right?"If you think statistics are
a pointer towards the growth or decline of a species, it will be interesting to
have a look at the estimates published in a report by U.S. Senate Environment
and Public Works Committee, in 2008. "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000
bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. A 2002 U.S.
Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the
polar bear populations 'may now be near historic highs.'"

scientist who exposed climate threat to polar bear is suspended
US government conducts 'integrity inquiry' on federal biologist amid lobbying

message for any federal scientist who dares to publish groundbreaking research

Monnett's conclusions about the dead polar bears as "groundbreaking
research"; I would not even call it science. It is not science to conclude
without any apparent investigation that the bears drowned because of global
warming. In fact, there was no proof provided that the bears did indeed drown.
For one thing, they are strong swimmers and can travel that way for miles.

Rather than spiraling into
a global warming meltdown, we may be heading into the next ice age.
The U.S. National Solar Observatory, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and
astrophysicists across the planet report that the nearly all-time low sunspot
activity may result in a sustained cooling period on Earth.The news has sent global
warming theory advocates scrambling to discount and explain away the impact on
global temperatures. However, the "news" is not really that new.Many reputable scientists
have been warning for decades that we are nearing the end of the 11,500-year
average period between ice ages. And the last similar crash in sunspot activity
coincided with the so-called "Little Ice Age" in the 1600s that
lasted nearly a century.

Britain is set to face an
increase in harsh winters, with up to one-in-seven gripping the UK with
prolonged sub-zero temperatures, a study has suggested.The projection was based on
research that identified how low solar activity affected winter weather
patterns.Ah yes, how the
carbonazis have fallen! Ten years ago Al Gore and his minions launched a
propaganda campaign to lie you into thinking the world was getting warmer and
that you were to blame, with redemption possible only through sacrifice of
freedoms and money (mostly the money). In2000
the UK met office, part of the Warmista cabal, proclaimed that snow was a thing
of the past! And here we are, with record snow (the California ski resorts were open
July 4th) and consequently record floods. We could be
generous and simply state that the climate alarmists were flat-out wrong, and
that we should cease listening to them on that point alone. But the climategate
emails confirmed that the deceptions were intentional. Too much money and
political capital had been invested in the push for a carbon tax to
let a little thing like reality get in the way! So, in service
to their agenda and greed, the carbonzis lied! They falsified the data. They
searched for ways to, as they put it, "Hide the decline!" Only now after
three harsh winters in a row has the corporate media been grudgingly forced to
retreat on the claims of global warming, all the while pretending they were
never a part of the propaganda campaign in the first place. I want you all
to remember this. Not out of ego, or a push for donations, but because in the
coming weeks the same corporate media that insisted that you were all
destroying the Earth unless you agreed to surrender your money and freedoms to
a global environmental authority, are going to be equally insistent about a lot
of other things, such as the 'need' to invade [pick a nation], that Greece is
not really in violation of the UN Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man
when they help Israel impose a Soviet style starvation blockade on Gaza, or how
the gods favor the private central bankers or any one of a thousand other lies
that serve the money junkies. And every time
the media feeds you more manure, please keep in mind that over the last ten
years the corporate media lied to you about the world getting warmer, while the
alternative media was telling you the truth. We were right,
they were wrong. We told you the truth, they fed you lies. Now you know who
to trust.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2010757/Shivering-Britain-Little-Ice-Age-way.htmlScientists think Britain
and Europe could be in for a chilly few years predicting a 'Little Ice Age'
could be on its way in just a few decades time. Average temperatures in
Britain could fall by two degrees centigrade, according to the study led by
Mike Lockwood, professor of space environment physics at Reading University,
because of a drop in the amount of sunspot activity.Sunspots are darker patches
seen in the sun's surface which are caused by small areas of magnetic activity
which disrupts the normal flow of intensely heated gases.

But last year, Professor
Lockwood discovered that a drop in sunspots could block winds that can keep
Europe from excessive cold in winter, according to the Daily Telegraph.Professor Lockwood's team looked at the sun's activity of the past 9,300
years using Met Office data. His findings, published by the Institute of Physics, (IoP) showed that
in the next 50 years there is a one in 10 chance of the sun returning to
conditions seen between 1645 and 1715 when the River Thames in London regularly froze over, as did the Baltic
Sea.Known as the Maunder
Minimum during these years astronomers could not see any sunspots and Europe
endured unusually harsh winters which came to be known as the Little Ice Age.Professor Lockwood's
findings could mean the average winter temperature could drop below 2.5C, compared to the average British winter
now of 5C, the
newspaper reported.In June, three different studies all concluded that sunspot activity
looks set to decline over the next 10 years.Experts said the next
upswing in sunspot activity, which follows an 11-year cycle, will not be as strong as normal - or might
not even happen at all. The findings were presented at a meeting of the American Astronomical
Society's solar physics division.

When
warmists don’t like data, they simply throw it out – or hide it best they can.
A great example is the Aviso “multi-mission” sea level graph, which purports to
support the idea that sea level is rising almost 3
mm/year.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/ONE of Australia's foremost
experts on the relationship between climate change and sea levels has written a
peer-reviewed paper concluding that rises in sea levels are "decelerating".

Is
climate change raising sea levels, as Al Gore has argued -- or are climate
scientists doctoring the data?

The
University of Colorado’s Sea
Level Research Group decided in May to add 0.3 millimeters -- or about the
thickness of a fingernail -- every year to its actual measurements of sea
levels, sparking criticism from experts who called it an attempt to exaggerate
the effects of global warming.

"Gatekeepers
of our sea level data are manufacturing a fictitious sea level rise that is not
occurring," said James M. Taylor, a lawyer who focuses on environmental
issues for the Heartland Institute.

Steve
Nerem, the director of the widely relied-upon research center, told FoxNews.com
that his group added the 0.3 millimeters per year to the actual
sea level measurements because land masses, still rebounding from the ice age,
are rising and increasing the amount of water that oceans can hold.

"We
have to account for the fact that the ocean basins are actually getting
slightly bigger... water volume is expanding," he said, a phenomenon they
call glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA).

Taylor
calls it tomfoolery.

"There
really is no reason to do this other than to advance a political agenda,"
he said.

Climate
scientist John Christy, a professor at the University
of Alabama in Huntsville, said that the amount of water in the ocean and
sea level were two different things.

Get ready for the next big bombshell in the
man-made warming debate. The world’s most sophisticated particle study laboratory—CERN
in Geneva—will soon announce that more cosmic rays do, indeed, create more
clouds in earth’s atmosphere. More cosmic rays mean a cooler planet. Thus, the
solar source of the earth’s long, moderate 1,500-year climate cycle will
finally be explained.

Cosmic rays and solar winds are interesting phenomena—but they are vastly more
relevant when an undocumented theory is threatening to quadruple society’s
energy costs. The IPCC wants $10 gasoline, and “soaring” electric bills to
reduce earth’s temperatures by an amount too tiny to measure with most
thermometers.

In 2007, when Fred Singer and I published Unstoppable Global
Warming Every 1,500 Years, we weren’t terribly concerned with cosmic rays. We
knew the natural, moderate warming/cooling cycle was real, from the evidence in
ice cores, seabed sediments, fossil pollen and cave stalagmites. The cycle was
the big factor that belied the man-made warming hysteria of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

When Willi Dansgaard and Hans Oeschger discovered the 1,500 year cycle in the
Greenland ice cores in 1984, they knew immediately that it was solar-powered.
They’d seen exactly the same cycle in the carbon 14 molecules in trees, and in
the beryllium 10 molecules in ice cores. Both sets of molecules are formed when
cosmic rays strike our atmosphere. The cycle had produced a whole series of
dramatic, abrupt Medieval-Warming-to-Little-Ice-Age climate changes.

The IPCC, for its part, announced that the sun could not be the forcing factor
in any major climate change because the solar irradiation was too small. IPCC
did not, however, add up the other solar variations that could amplify the
solar irradiation. Nor had the IPCC programmed its famed computer models with
the knowledge of the Medieval Warming (950–1200 AD), the Roman Warming (200
BC–600 AD), or the big Holocene Warmings centered on 6,000 and 8,000 BC.

The IPCC apparently wanted to dismiss the sun as a climate factor—to leave room
for a CO2 factor that has only a 22 percent correlation with our past
thermometer record. Correlation is not causation—but the lack of CO2
correlation is deadly to the IPCC theory.Read Full

Head of the world’s leading physics lab has issued a gag order
preventing scientists from stating their interpretation of a study that links
historical climate changes to cosmic rays.

For
years now scientists and physicists have presented study after study showing
data, along with their personal interpretations, supporting the hypothesis that
the alleged Global Warming phenomenon is due to man-made environmental factors
affecting climate change.

Now,
a major scientific experiment to conducted study the interaction between cosmic
rays and cloud formation reveals that historical climate patterns coincide with
the penetration of cosmic rays into the earth’s atmosphere.

However,

been issued is because the experiment invites a politically unacceptable
hypothesis on climate change, or to say it another way, the study shows that
Global Warming may not be a human caused phenomenon.

Under
any interpretation the data can simply not be ignored since the study reveals
that at the least cosmic rays play some part in climate change and Global
warming.

Assuming
that Global warming is is occurring, the question of whether cosmic rays are
the sole cause or just a contributing factor along with man-made and other
issues is really just a red herring.

The
real issue here is why are scientist being ordered not to give interpretations
of data that would suggest a theory that is contradicts the politically popular
view? Is science not allowed to suggest an alternate hypothesis to the man-made
Global warming theory even when the data shows otherwise?

Science
needs to be factually unbiased and provide information that is independent of a
politics.

Many
critics of Global warming, and the theory it is man-made, already believe the
studies supporting have been fabricated for politicians who paid for skewed
data so they can push through their own political agendas.

Clearly
this gag order will do little to quiet those skeptics.

The
study will also raises another interesting question about the effect that the
man-made cloud seeding operations conducted by the government will have on the
climate over time.

Opponents of global warming
should be given less coverage by the BBC than the climate change lobby, the
corporation will rule.The BBC is set to publish a
report tomorrow on its science output announcing changes to rules on
impartiality.Following the overhaul,
programme makers and broadcasters will be compelled to give less prominence to
those who oppose the scientific community's majority view.

The so-called climate change
"experts" that still cling to the mythical theory of man-made global
warming are having an increasingly difficult time defending this flailing
position. New findings published in the journal Nature reveal that plants,
which absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen, actually absorb CO2 about
25 faster than previous estimates assumed they did.The findings are hugely significant,
of course, because they help further debunk the myth that CO2 is an
overabundant environmental pollutant responsible for destroying the earth.

I hate to be the one to point this out but polar bears
float. That fur is hollow in order to insulate them from the cold, and a side
benefit is that it is quite buoyant. Then there is the adipose tissue which is
also less dense than water. The photo at the top of this page proves my point.
Despite the helicopter downdraft, the bear is floating almost half out of the
water. If it wanted to, it could go to sleep and not drown, and as always open
water is where the bears get their food, so the bear will not starve. It is
perfectly at home.Three harsh
winters in a row, record flooding from record snows, and still the Carbonazis
are selling this global-warming kool-aid to push through a carbon tax..

What
may be the science story of the century is breaking this evening, as
heavyweight US solar physicists announce that the Sun appears to be headed into
a lengthy spell of low activity, which could mean that the Earth – far from
facing a global warming problem – is actually headed into a mini Ice Age.

***

The
announcement made on 14 June (18:00 UK time) comes from scientists at the US
National Solar Observatory (NSO) and US Air Force Research Laboratory. Three
different analyses of the Sun's recent behaviour all indicate that a period of
unusually low solar activity may be about to begin.

***

This
could have major implications for the Earth's climate. According to a statement
issued by the NSO, announcing the research:

An immediate question is whether this slowdown
presages a second Maunder Minimum, a 70-year period with virtually no sunspots
[which occurred] during 1645-1715.

Early records of sunspots indicate that the Sun
went through a period of inactivity in the late 17th century. Very few sunspots
were seen on the Sun from about 1645 to 1715. Although the observations were
not as extensive as in later years, the Sun was in fact well observed during
this time and this lack of sunspots is well documented. This period of solar
inactivity also corresponds to a climatic period called the "Little Ice
Age" when rivers that are normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained
year-round at lower altitudes. There is evidence that the Sun has had similar
periods of inactivity in the more distant past.

During
the Maunder Minimum and for periods either side of it, many European rivers
which are ice-free today – including the Thames – routinely froze over,
allowing ice skating and even for armies to march across them in some cases.

"This
is highly unusual and unexpected," says Dr Frank Hill of the NSO.
"But the fact that three completely different views of the Sun point in
the same direction is a powerful indicator that the sunspot cycle may be going
into hibernation."

According
to the NSO:

Penn and Livingston observed that the average
field strength declined about 50 gauss per year during Cycle 23 and now in
Cycle 24. They also observed that spot temperatures have risen exactly as
expected for such changes in the magnetic field. If the trend continues, the
field strength will drop below the 1,500 gauss threshold and spots will largely
disappear as the magnetic field is no longer strong enough to overcome
convective forces on the solar surface.

In
parallel with this comes research from the US Air Force's studies of the solar
corona.

While Hell
freezes over, the Carbonazis, trapped by their ego and greed, will die rather
than admit they were wrong about global warming.

What may be the science
story of the century is breaking this evening, as heavyweight US solar
physicists announce that the Sun appears to be headed into a lengthy spell of

Ice
skating on the Thames by 2025?

The announcement made on 14
June (18:00 UK time) comes
from scientists at the US National Solar Observatory (NSO) and US Air Force
Research Laboratory. Three different analyses of the Sun's recent behaviour all
indicate that a period of unusually low solar activity may be about to begin.

The
Sun normally follows an 11-year cycle of activity. The current cycle, Cycle 24,
is now supposed to be ramping up towards maximum strength. Increased numbers of
sunspots and other indications ought to be happening: but in fact results so
far are most disappointing. Scientists at the NSO now suspect, based on data
showing decades-long trends leading to this point, that Cycle 25 may not happen
at all.

This
could have major implications for the Earth's climate. According to a statement
issued by the NSO, announcing the research:

An immediate question is whether this slowdown
presages a second Maunder Minimum, a 70-year period with virtually no sunspots

"But the fact that three completely different views of the Sun point in
the same direction is a powerful indicator that the sunspot cycle may be going
into hibernation."

For years, scientists have
been predicting the Sun would by around 2012 move into solar maximum, a period
of intense flares and sunspot activity, but lately a curious calm has suggested
quite the opposite.According to three studies
released in the United States on Tuesday, experts believe the familiar sunspot
cycle may be shutting down and heading toward a pattern of inactivity unseen since
the 17th century.We are talking
about a new "Maunder Minimum" which coincided with the "Little
Ice Age". So, contrary to the prognostications of the Carbonazis, the
world is headed into a chill, not warming. Did I mention it
snowed here in Hawaii last week? :)

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2011/0617/1224299071819.htmlProf Mike Lockwood of the
University of Southampton has closely studied the implications of a quiet sun,
and will publish new findings within weeks.He has already established
that low solar activity causes high altitude jet stream winds to twist back on
themselves during winter months. This channels bitterly cold Arctic air and
frigid winds from the Russian Steppes across northern Europe and on to Ireland.“Our evidence shows that
low solar activity makes it easier for something called ‘jet stream blocking’
to occur,” he said yesterday.

According to the report,
much of the damage caused by increases in CO2 and deforestation has been made
up for by naturally increasing forest densities, at least as far as CO2 is
concerned. Based on a survey of 68 different nations, the report explains that
between 2000 and 2010, the amount of carbon stored by forests in both North
America and Europe has actually increased dramatically, even though the overall
land area of these forests has remained largely unchanged.Even in areas of Africa and
South America where massive deforestation efforts have cleared much of the
land, increasing forest densities in those that remain have made up for much of
that loss.

(NaturalNews) We have all heard it before. Humans
are supposedly producing too much carbon dioxide (CO2), which is contributing
to "global warming" -- and the only solution, of course, is to have
the United Nations (UN) distribute carbon use credits and implement carbon
taxes to offset an impending global disaster. However, a new study published in
the online journal PLoS One helps debunk this myth by showing that the
natural world is basically taking care of this excess CO2 naturally, without
the need for increased government control over individuals.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of the way trees and other plants function knows
that they require CO2 in
order to survive. And upon absorbing CO2, plants naturally release oxygen for
humans and animals to breathe. This cycle has been going on since the beginning
of time, and it continues to occur today, despite the plethora of human
environmental abuses that appear to have damaged and obstructed the earth in many other ways.

According to the report, much of the damage caused by increases in CO2 and deforestation has been
made up for by naturally increasing forest densities, at least as far as CO2 is
concerned. Based on a survey of 68 different nations, the report explains that
between 2000 and 2010, the amount of carbon stored by forests in
both North America and
Europe has actually increased dramatically, even though the overall land area
of these forests has
remained largely unchanged.

Even in areas of Africa and South America where massive deforestation efforts
have cleared much of the land, increasing forest densities in those that remain
have made up for much of that loss.

"Higher densities means world forests are
capturing more carbon," said experts from both Finland and the US in
response to the report. And
the US is a perfect example of this, as its timberland area increased by only
one percent between 1953 and 2007, while its actual volume of growing stock
increased by a whopping 51 percent during the same time.

The United Nations'
forecast of how quickly global sea levels will rise this century is vital in
determining how much money might be needed to combat the phenomenon. But predictions
by researchers vary wildly, and the attempt to find consensus has become
fractious.
InfoIt is a number which will
ultimately establish how billions in taxpayer money will be spent -- and it is
one which is the subject of heated debate, both among politicians and

The
latest data has been added to the Aviso site, and sea level is dropping through

Climate
midgets (McKibben, Cook, Romm, etc.) have been claiming that the extreme US

moisture, so we get more rain and violent weather.

Our friends have been

“Absolute certainty is a
privilege of uneducated minds and fanatics.” - C.J. KeyserActivist PostOn Monday, UPI announced
the findings of a recent Harris poll that revealed a record low amount of
people believe the global warming theory. Only 44% of the 2163 people polled
say they believe that CO2 is warming the earth:Only 44 percent say they
'believe the theory' that carbon dioxide emissions are warming the Earth, down
from 51 percent in 2009 and 71 percent in 2007, but most movement has been into
the 'not sure' column.

CO2 was less than 315 ppm,
yet Alaska lost half of her glaciers in only 50 years. Showing once again how
spectacularly dishonest the alarmist position is.How is reducing CO2 to 350
ppm going to stop glaciers from melting? There isn’t one shred of evidence to
support that idea.

The
New Age Eco Fascist like Al Gore finally getting discredited on daily bases for
trying to push us in to an ecological dictatorship and trying to profit from
carbon taxation pushing the entire world in to a new type of tax slavery. (
Like we don’t have enough taxes already. ) Forbes article explains the false
claim of a declining global phytoplankton population:“Global warming
alarmists and their allies in the media were ringing the alarm bells last
summer after a study in the journal Nature claimed the global phytoplankton
population had declined by 40% since 1950. The alarmists and their media allies
aggressively focused attention on the study and made the additional assertion
that global warming and carbon dioxide emissions must be to blame.

A just-released follow-up study in
Nature, however, shows flaws in the original study and documents that the
global phytoplankton population has risen, rather than fallen, over the past
several decades.
Perhaps the alarmists and their media allies could be given a pass, except they
should have known the truth even last summer.

The
theory advanced by global warming alarmists is that carbon dioxide emissions,
the alleged instigator of the modest rise in 20th century temperatures, cause
oceans to become harmfully acidic. Even a small increase in ocean acidity, the
alarmists claim, can have devastating impact on marine life. This ocean
acidification theory is very convenient for global warming alarmists because it
allows them to claim a major global warming-related crisis even when global
temperatures fail to rapidly rise or rise in a manner that does not produce
temperature-related crises.

We have been hearing lots
of rumours of record low ice in 2011, but alarmists long sought Arctic
Armageddon is falling apart very rapidly. The green area (2011 ice not present

is shrinking rapidly. Weather forecasts for the Arctic look cold for the
indefinite future, so it is likely to just get worse.

It seems now that, in the face of more

A snowfall so fierce that
Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter called it a "white earthquake"
buried communities, blocked roads, cut off food supplies, and wreaked havoc on
basic utilities in Chile's central Araucania region.Following four days of
non-stop snowfall piling as high as nine feet (2.7m) in some areas, President Sebastián Piñera
declared much of the region a disaster area on Wednesday.Although this part of the
country is no stranger to cold weather, Piñera described the current polar
front as the worst the region has seen in 30 years

The race director of a
100-mile ultra-marathon foot race through the Flathead National Forest has
cancelled the event due to lingering snow on the route that he says would make
the course too dangerous for runners and likely prevent anyone from finishing

The southern parts of
Brazil, a tropical country, have been stricken by cold snaps since Monday,
driving down temperatures to record-low levels and bringing snow in some areas,
a local weather service has reported.The weather monitoring
department of Santa Catarina state said the temperature fell to 8.8 Celsius
degrees below zero in the small town of Urupema on Tuesday, while in Cambara do
Sul, in Rio Grande do Sul state, along the southern border, the temperature
dropped to minus 6.2 degrees.

An influx of cold polar air
in the last week has produced record low temperatures throughout Bolivia and
severely damaged crops in least five departments of the country. The freeze
hurt almost all edible crops grown in the areas affected and has already
resulted in increased prices for those items in large cities. According to
reports, the ice and snow of last week most affected Santa Cruz, Cochabamba,
Tarija, Potosí, and La Paz. In
all of these areas the cold compounded with hurricane-force winds lasted three
days. Several cities also registered record low
temperatures.

All that collective griping
about the weather just got validated by some cold facts: The spring of 2011 was
the chilliest on record for the state.James Johnstone, a research
associate with the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean in
the UW College of the Environment, said the average high temperature from April
through June was 60.4 degrees Fahrenheit, beating the previous average of 61.6
degrees in 1955.

According to the National
Meteorological Service (SMN), the cold weather that hit the continent four days
ago is expected to continue until at least Thursday of this week.The surrounding areas of
Buenos Aires suffered some of the lowest temperatures, with -4 degrees in
Dolores, -2.6 degrees in Tandil, -1.5 degrees in Ezeiza and -1.2 degrees in Mar
del Plata, with a wind chill of -5 degrees.

The weather bureau has

record.

Last week's cold snap has
seen Timaru record its second lowest temperature for July since records began
in 1906. On July 26, the minimum air
temperature recorded in Timaru was -7.8 degrees Celsius. It was also the

Normally,
a moderate El Niño (as in winter 2010) would have resulted in a warmer Bering
Sea and La Niña
in winter 2011, and weakening in spring would have supported cooler conditions.
However, in recent years it appears that the location of the Aleutian Low had
more influence on the Bering Sea in 2010 and 2011 than did the intensity of the
low or the ENSO connection.

Additionally,
the report suggests the ecosystem of the Bering sea is not so bad after all,
with plankton and fish volume on the rise.

and are expected to stay very close to that level for the next 24 to 36 hours.Which is what
you get when all that snow the global warming cultists insisted was a thing of
the past melts, and cities and counties, who believed the global warming
cultists and so were not prepared for the hard winters, get hammered.

Blasting open a levee and
submerging more than 200 square miles of Missouri farmland has likely gouged
away fertile topsoil, deposited mountains of debris to clear and may even
hamper farming in some places for years, experts say.All this water
came from massive amounts of melting snow. You know, the white
stuff that the carbonazis insisted was a thing of the past due to "Human
Caused Global Warming (reg trademark Saint Al of the Gore). So, local cities
and communities, trusting the same Federal government who lied to us all about
Saddam's 'nooks', spent what little tax revenues they had preparing for the
wrong climate. and here we are
today, three harsh winters in a row, record snow across America all winter and
now that it is melting, record flooding, with nobody downstream ready to deal
with it. Thanks a bunch
Carbonazis. You couldn't have wrecked the place any worse if you tried.

New Orleans (CNN) -- Waging
war against historic flooding in eight Midwestern and Southern states, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers opened a spillway north of New Orleans on Monday in an
effort to calm the rising Mississippi River.A crowd gathered near the
entrance to the Bonnet Carre spillway to watch workers use cranes to slide open
the gates to the flood control system. The spillway, like another that could be
opened next week, is designed to divert floodwater away from New Orleans and
slow the raging river to protect the low-lying city.

Three million acres, an
area almost the size of Connecticut, may go under water as the Mississippi
River flooding moves south and threatens Louisiana.
The rising water has interrupted coal shipments to power plants in Tennessee,
flooded more than 100,000 acres of Missouri cropland, forced thousands from
their homes and prompted the Corps to open the Bonnet Carre Spillway to reduce
the river’s force through New Orleans.On the Mississippi between
New Orleans and Baton Rouge, there are 11 refineries with a combined capacity
of 2.5 million barrels a day, or 13 percent of U.S. output, according to Andy
Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston.

BUNCHE'S BEND, La. – Water
from the swollen Mississippi River poured over a century-old levee Thursday,
flooding 12,000 acres of corn and soybeans despite farmers' frantic efforts to
shore up the structure. Downstream, officials with the Port of New Orleans said
the Coast Guard could close the river to ships as early as Monday, halting
traffic on one of the world's busiest commercial waterways.

We've all undertaken home
improvements but these residents in flood-stricken Mississippi have had to
embark on major construction projects just to protect their houses and
livelihoods.These homes in Vicksburg
are all situated along the Yazoo River, a tributary of the overflowing
Mississippi River, and their owners have surrounded themselves with tons of
earth and sand.With questions over whether
the main levees that protect the area from floods would hold, these farmers
took no chances and have so far saved their homes and crops from destruction.This is beyond
belief: the people who have
had to do this are obviously completely expendable to this administration.

About 3 million acres of
farmland in four southern US states have been inundated with flood waters from
the swollen Mississippi River and its tributaries.The historic Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley Railroad Station is surrounded by floodwater in Vicksburg,
Mississippi

The latest Mississippi
floods, which are even bigger than the disastrous 1927 flood, threaten the
southern cities of the United States, says Danny Schechter of mediachannel.org."The last [disastrous]
flood, the great flood of 1927 killed hundreds, made many homeless. Now this
one is even bigger”, said the veteran media critic in an interview with Press
TV's U.S. Desk on Sunday.

New York TimesLouisiana's shrimpers
expected 2010 to be a good year. Instead, they got the oil spill. Although many
found temporary jobs working cleanup for BP PLC, hopes for recovery turned to
2011.Now the swollen Mississippi
River is expected to deliver another heavy blow to a seafood industry already
on the ropes: a massive flush of fertilizer, animal manure, treated sewage,
pesticide and urban runoff...

Scientists predict this polluted wash will give rise to the Gulf of Mexico's
largest-ever "dead zone," a large swath of ocean devoid of fish,
shellfish and other marine life.

"It's a disaster in the making," said Clint Guidry, a third-generation
Louisiana fisherman and president of the Louisiana Shrimp Association.
"Everybody paid their taxes and fixed their boat up, and they were ready
to go back to work this year. It's not looking good."

I will tell you
why the media is no longer paying attention to the massive flooding hitting our
nation. Because like Katrina, and like the Gulf Oil Disaster, and like last
weekend's DNS attacks, the current flooding proves that the US Federal
Government has, in their devotion to taking care of Israel, not taken any care
at all of the United States. The current flooding, like Katrina, and like the
Gulf Oil Disaster, and like last weekend's DNS attacks, proves that the Federal
Government is very good at dealing with phony monsters they themselves create
to scare you into wars of conquest, but totally inept and incompetent at
dealing with the real world. And more to the
point, the record flooding is the melt from the record snow across the north,
something that was not supposed to happen at all according to the global
warming/ carbon tax cult. And because the carbonazis are inevitably going to
try their fraud again this summer, heavy snow and floods from melted snow are
simply not being reported as incompatible with political doctrine and tax
policy.

The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers said on Friday it anticipates opening the Morganza Spillway on the
western bank of the swollen Mississippi River to divert floodwaters into
theAtchafalaya River basin and protect Baton Rouge, Louisiana, New Orleans and
refineries from flooding.It appears that not only
are refineries in danger, but three nuclear power plants are also in danger of
being flooded:* Entergy’s 1,176-megawatt
Waterford nuclear plant in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana
* 978-megawatt River Bend nuclear plant in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana,
and
* 1,268-megawatt Grand Gulf nuclear station in Clairborne County, Mississippi

A season of record rainfall and well-below average
high temperatures make 2011 the latest-blooming rose season in memory. Only six
days rose above 60 degrees; on average, there are 26."A rose! Ah, ha,
ha!" whooped Hillary Joseph, bending over to inspect a button of orange,
the only color bobbing in an aggressive sea of green at the International Rose
Test Garden at Washington Park, where the great majority of approximately 8,500
roses are certain to be a no-show for the Portland Rose Festival.Thomas Wickboldt, Joseph's
friend from San Francisco, was good-natured about missing Portland's iconic
flower. "Since it's the City of Roses, it would be nice to see the roses.
But it's not that big of a deal."

Record Sierra snowfall over the
winter now means record snow melt as temperatures rise, swelling Yosemite
National Park's iconic waterfalls, streams and rivers to their most turbulent
level in years.Yosemite Falls, the
nation's tallest, is spewing enough water to fill a gasoline tanker truck every
two seconds. The force of water at Bridalveil Falls across the valley kicks up
a mist that clouds the meadow below.It means that until the
peak melt around mid-June, visitors will experience more treacherous beauty in
Yosemite than even the travel brochures promise.

For all the attention on
epic flooding in the Mississippi Valley, a quiet threat has been growing here
in the West where winter snows have piled up on mountain ranges throughout the
region.In California, officials
staged three days of flood training last week, including on Twitchell Island in
the Sacramento Delta.
Thanks to a blizzard-filled winter and an unusually cold and wet spring, more
than 90 measuring sites from Montana to New Mexico and California to Colorado
have record snowpack totals on the ground for late May, according to a federal
report released last week.

But if you thought this
photograph was taken in the dark days of winter then think again.The wintry scene, at the
Snowdon Mountain Railway's terminus near Hafod Eryri, was photographed at 1300
BST on Friday - in the middle of June, days before the start of Wimbledon and
just over a week before the summer solstice.

Australia is considering
proposals to kill all the wild camels that roam the outback as part of its
contribution to fighting global warming.The 1.2 million camels,
considered pests by farmers and conservationists, each produce a methane
equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide a year.That makes them
collectively one of the Australia's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.

Scientists say they've found solid evidence of a
giant mass of hot rock under the seafloor in the region. But it's not a plume
running straight from the core to the surface—and it's hundreds of miles west
of the nearest Hawaiian island.

Associated PressDead broke and living in a
FEMA trailer following the 2008 flood, Van Fleet repeatedly submitted paperwork
and made countless phone calls arguing his case. After seven months, the agency
finally gave him more than $20,000, which he said gave him his life back and
allowed him to move into a house.Then in March, a letter
arrived from the government with a shocking message: He should never have
gotten the money. And he had just 30 days to pay it all back.The agency is asking Van
Fleet and thousands of other Americans who were victims of natural disasters to
return more than $22 million in government aid, acknowledging it mistakenly
made payments to many people who were ineligible.Particularly after the
horrors of FEMA "assistance" post Hurricane Katrina, this agency
needs to be disbanded immediately; the degree of hopeless incompetency with
which it behaves gives it absolutely zero
credibility.

David Evans is a scientist.
He has also worked in the heart of the AGW machine. He consulted full-time for
the Australian Greenhouse Office (now the Department of Climate Change) from
1999 to 2005, and part-time 2008 to 2010, modeling Australia’s carbon in
plants, debris, mulch, soils, and forestry and agricultural products. He has
six university degrees, including a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford
University. The other day he said:

"The debate about
global warming has reached ridiculous proportions and is full of micro-thin
half-truths and misunderstandings. I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy
train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a
skeptic."

And
with that he begins a demolition of the theories, premises and methods by which
the AGW scare has been foisted on the public.

The
politics:

"The whole idea that
carbon dioxide is the main cause of the recent global warming is based on a
guess that was proved false by empirical evidence during the 1990s. But the
gravy train was too big, with too many jobs, industries, trading profits,
political careers, and the possibility of world government and total control
riding on the outcome. So rather than admit they were wrong, the governments,
and their tame climate scientists, now outrageously maintain the fiction that
carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant."

Snow has fallen in parts of
central western NSW as temperatures plummeted below zero overnight.In the video

Well, it certainly sounds

Six years ago, the United
Nations issued a dramatic warning that the world would have to cope with 50
million climate refugees by 2010. But now that those migration flows have
failed to materialize, the UN has distanced itself from the forecasts. On the
contrary, populations are growing in the regions that had been identified as
environmental danger zones.

“For
decades billions of US dollars of taxpayer money have been pumped into climate research without
getting any detectable progress. Climate experts still have not even succeeded
in delivering the physical proof of the claimed “greenhouse effect”.

The meteorological fact is that at no
point on earth and at no time of the year do either the daily or yearly air
temperature and CO2 concentrations causally correlate. There is no correlation!
Also a radical reduction of ‘greenhouse gases’ in Europe, or ”achieving a
‘CO2-free Europe’, would have absolutely no impact on the weather over the
course of the annual seasons.

No state, already under a mountain of
debt, can morally justify the burning of billions, and yes
trillions, on the ‘protection of the global climate’ without leaving proof of
having any effect whatsoever.

The correlation between the CO2-value
in Hawaii and the annually calculated ‘global temperature’ is a fictitious correlation
that imposters as causal effect, but is in reality only a make believe
correlation.

Humankind would be helped in practical
ways if 20% of research resources were instead devoted to better weather
forecasting and the remaining 80% devoted to combating hunger and poverty.”

Demand
for carbon allowances plummeted to an all-time low at the quarterly
auction of the 10-state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The numbers are striking
– and raise serious questions about the viability of RGGI, the
nation’s only mandatory CO-2 cap and trade program:

RGGI managed to sell just 30
percent of the allowances, or permits, it offered for sale at the
June 8 auction.

The auction raised only $25 million,
a fraction of the record high of $117 million set two years ago.

The price per allowance was $1.89,
the minimum allowed by RGGI.

The
June auction is the first since Gov. Chris Christie announced New Jersey is
quitting RGGI. The state plans to participate in the next two
auctions scheduled for Sept. 7 and Dec. 7 before it pulls out of the program at
the end of the year, according to a letter
from Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin.
NJDEP will continue to require electric generators in the state to have RGGI
permits for CO-2 emissions through Dec. 31, 2011.

However,
the remaining nine RGGI states have not decided whether to honor New
Jersey permits sold after this month’s auction. “Additional
information regarding other New Jersey allowances will be issued” before the
September auction, according
to RGGI.

The United Nations flag
with the grid over the globe is an important clue for those who monitor world
affairs. They are tightening their grip on the earth and laying out their
control grid piece by piece. The previous Earth Summit in 1993 produced an
insidious action plan entitled Agenda 21.This plan was carried out
and allowed the United Nations to acquire and control resources from around the
globe and coerce local, state and federal governments to do their bidding for
the sake of the earth.In 2012, they meet again in
Rio but the media campaign has already kicked off. Initial recommendations have
been released by participating working groups and they are comprehensive enough
to give Eco-Zealots wet dreams.

The global temperature has
fallen .653°C (from +0.554 in March 2010 to -0.099 in March 2011) in just one year.
That’s a magnitude nearly equivalent to the agreed upon global warming signal
agreed upon by the IPCC. It is quite a sharp drop.

Scientists analyzing
maximum latewood density (MXD) datasets from Scandinavia determine that the Medieval Warming was
unprecedented in its duration, at least 100 years in length.In contrast to the modern
era, this study, by Gunnarson et al., revealed that there were similar
temperature increases from 1910 to 1940's, and one that started in the late
1990's. Neither of these very short-term warmings have MDX temperature
reconstructions exceeding the Medieval Period."Working
in the same general area, researchers combined these older historical MXD
data with "recently collected MXD data covering AD 1292-2006 into a single
reconstruction of April-September temperatures for the period AD
1107-2006,".....report "there is a steep increase in inferred
temperatures at the beginning of the twelfth century, followed by a century of
warm temperatures (ca. 1150-1250)," which falls within the temporal
confines of the Medieval Warm Period; and they state that "the record ends
with a sharp increase in temperatures from around 1910 to the 1940s, followed
by decreasing temperatures for a few decades," after which they indicate
that "another sharp increase in April-September temperature commenced in
the late 1990s," during what is commonly known as the Current Warm Period.
Thus, they say that "the two warmest periods are the mid to late twentieth
century and the period from AD 1150-1250," and they emphasize that the
temperatures of both of these periods have been so similar that "it is not
possible to conclude whether the present and relatively recent past are warmer
than the 1150-1250 period."" [Björn E. Gunnarson, Hans W. Linderholm, Anders

Bursts
of intense global warming that have lasted tens of thousands of years have
taken place more frequently throughout history than previously believe,
according to evidence gathered by a team led by Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, UC San Diego researchers.

Richard
Norris, a professor of geology at Scripps who co-authored the report, said that
releases of carbon dioxide sequestered in the deep oceans were the most likely
trigger of these ancient “hyperthermal” events. Most of the events raised
average global temperatures between 2° and 3° Celsius (3.6 and 5.4° F), an
amount comparable to current conservative estimates of how much temperatures
are expected to rise in coming decades as a consequence of anthropogenic global
warming. Most hyperthermals lasted about 40,000 years before temperatures
returned to normal.

The
study appears in the March 17 issue of the journal Nature.
“These hyperthermals seem not to have been rare events,” Norris said, “hence
there are lots of ancient examples of global warming on a scale broadly like
the expected future warming. We can use these events to examine the
impact of global change on marine ecosystems, climate and ocean circulation.”

Sediment
samples in the lab of Richard Norris obtained by the Ocean Drilling Program
reveal the mark of "hyperthermals," warming events lasting thousands
of years that changed the composition of the sediment and its color. The packaged
sediment sample on the left contains sediment formed in the wake of a
55-million-year-old warming event and the sample on the right is sediment from
a later era after global temperatures stabilized.

The hyperthermals took place roughly every 400,000 years during a warm period
of Earth history that prevailed some 50 million years ago. The strongest of
them coincided with an event known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, the
transition between two geologic epochs in which global temperatures rose between
4° and 7° C (7.2° and 12.6° F) and needed 200,000 years to return to historical
norms. The events stopped taking place around 40 million years ago, when the
planet entered a cooling phase. No warming events of the magnitude of these
hyperthermals have been detected in the geological record since then.

Scientists examined the climate model output and compared it to the abrupt
warming experienced in the Northern Hemisphere post-1980. The researchers
determined that the rise in temperatures was associated with both an increase
in the Arctic Oscillation and a simultaneous weakening of the Pacific Decadal
Oscillation, neither of which were influenced by human CO2.From the their analysis,
they found that the IPCC models were unable to simulate even these major
climate patterns successfully."The
researchers report finding that the emergence of an AO-like pattern in the
late 1980s and the concomitant weakening of the previously prevailing PDO-like
pattern -- occurring in tandem -- were what led to the "accelerated
warming in the Northern Hemisphere." And they say that these results,
together with results obtained from current IPCC/CMIP3 models, "do not
support the scenario that the emerging influence of the AO-like pattern in the
1980s can be attributed to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect."...state
in their concluding paragraph that "this study indicates the importance of
the changing behavior of the decadal fluctuations in the recent climate regime

About three quarters of the

20 degrees colder than normal Tuesday and Wednesday on the Prairies, he said.British Columbia, the
Yukon, the Prairies, the Northwest Territories, most of Ontario, and a good
chunk of Nunavut will see colder temperatures during spring."We've done a lot of
plowing and shovelling and pushing in some areas of Canada and it looks like
they're going to continue that," said Phillips.Eastern Nunavut, most of

temperatures, he said.Southern B.C., most of
Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Canada and Nunavut will see a wetter than normal
spring while precipitation will be near normal in northern Ontario and most of
the Prairies.But at least Canadians have
something to put themselves in a sunny mood.

For
the second year in a row, the winter temperature when averaged across the
contiguous United States came in below the average temperature for the 20th
century. This marks the first time since the winters of 1992-93 and 1993-94
that two winters in a row have been below the long-term normal, and it makes
for the coldest back-to-back winter combination for at least the past 25 years.

After
examining climate data extending back nearly 100 years, a team of Government
scientists has concluded that there has been no significant change in average
temperatures or rainfall in the United States over that entire period.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1352231011007540A paper published last week
in the journal Atmospheric Environment finds that the urban heat island effect
accounts for 56% of the total temperature increase in South Korean city
stations over the past 55 years. Warmists constantly downplay the urban heat
island (UHI) effect as insignificant, but as this paper and several others
show, the UHI does cause very significant biases with stations reporting higher
or rising temperatures because they are poorly sited.

Earth
is currently in a long-term warming trend. After a regional nuclear war,
though, average global temperatures would drop by 2.25 degrees F (1.25 degrees
C) for two to three years afterward, the models suggest.

3rd largest U.S. corn crop ever. Why? Well part of the reason is that our cars
now have a mandated, growing and voracious appetite for corn based ethanol.

NASA and the ESA agree, and so
does the Russian space agency, Roscosmos—the sun is headed for a Grand Solar
Minimum and a Grand Cooling will commence.

The aptly named Grand Cooling is exactly what it implies: the sun is going to
cool. That cooling will also cool off the Earth. It will last from 30 to 50
years.

What exactly does global cooling mean? Well for one, Al Gore was sure wrong!

This
morning’s Dagens Nyheter newspaper had dramatic satellite photos of the
frozen-over Baltic Sea, where the ice has moved a considerable distance in just
two weeks.

We

"It's been a really rapid increase in the last four or
five days"(3:03)
Anyone living in Sweden right now knows it’s been a long cold winter. This
morning’s Dagens Nyheter newspaper had dramatic satellite photos of the
frozen-over Baltic Sea, where the ice has moved a considerable distance in just
two weeks. Oceanographer Lisa Lind of the Swedish Weather Service SMHI says
this is the worst Baltic ice since something like 1987.

The
ice cover on the Baltic Sea is now at it widest extent since 1987, and it is
expected to freeze over even more, according to Finnish meteorologists.
Furthermore, warmer temperatures and high winds in coming weeks are likely to
create pack ice and further problems for shipping.

According
to the meteorologist from Finnish news portal YLE, Toni Hellinen, the extent of
the ice cover now being seen on the Baltic Sea is relatively rare, writes LETA.

"It
was actually last in 1987 that there was such extensive ice cover, only about
once every quarter of a century is there such widespread ice. In terms of
statistics we could say that the situation is rare," says Hellinen.

The Central England
Temperature Record has been getting some inconvenient attention as of late. Joe

in the world extending back to the Little Ice age in 1659. December 2010 was the
coldest December in 120 years with an average of -0.7C just short of the record of -0.8C recorded in December 1890 and the Second
Coldest December Temperature in the entire record (352 years).

How many active undersea
volcanoes are there?

Don't worry that you don't
have the answer; it's a trick question. Nobody knows. And there is the problem,
because the carbonazis have been screaming about ocean temperatures as part of
their human-caused global warming religion. But if one does not know how many
active volcanoes are underneath the ocean, or how large they all are, one
cannot determine what, if any, warming is coming from geological process. Hence
any claims about human impact are of necessity SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass

With the upper Midwest warming up from
a deep freeze and one of the snowiest winters in decades, state officials from
Nebraska to North Dakota are thinking of spring time — and flooding.

Along ice-choked Midwest waterways,
officials hope the deep snowpack will melt gradually enough for the runoff to
be absorbed by rivers and remain within the protective dikes and levee systems
that could be overwhelmed by a rapid thaw.

The week-long party that
traditionally leads up to the Super Bowl was brought to a standstill in Dallas
by a winter storm that coated the area with ice, and sent temperatures plunging
into the teens. Around the stadium in Arlington, sub-zero wind chill readings
were recorded, and the region has received an additional 3 to 6 inches of snow
over the last 24 hours.Since a major storm
Tuesday, which temporarily shut down Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport,
temperatures have remained below freezing, keeping portions of the city frozen,
and preventing city crews from clearing all the roads.

Webmaster's Commentary:

The stadium was
built without protective awnings over the entryways to guard against falling
ice because such ice has not been a part of the region's history, and because
of assurances that the world is heating up. Latest word is that the roof of the
stadium, intended to be open for the game tomorrow, is now frozen shut. The
roof was built without de-icing systems or heaters, because again, the
government has been telling everyone the world is getting warmer.

Temperatures
dipped close to all-time record lows in a number of locations over the Imperial

The
Electric Reliability Council of Texas has ordered Powers plants to do rolling
blackouts through the day to compensate the use of power. I wonder if these new
EPA regulations and the US government now taking over issuing plant permits for
power plants and oil refineries had anything to do with it. I am getting really
suspicious.

There is no reason to have
anymore rolling black outs. Winter comes once a year to Texas and these
companies should be prepared for the season. I still think it was over the new
EPA rules mandated power companies to shut down plants or pay high fines for
going over their limit in green house gases. While the Texas legislator in Austin
is now in session. Not only should they draft legislation to dismantle the
ERCOT. They should also amend to that law to throw the EPA out of Texas too.

The Electric Reliability
Council of Texas ordered utilities to rotate electrical outages to compensate
for a power shortage linked to the extreme cold weather.The order took effect Wednesday
morning, a day after an ice and snow storm blanketed parts of Texas.ERCOT had no timetable for

Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, Abilene and
the Rio Grande Valley. ERCOT manages the flow of electricity to about 22
million Texas customers.

getting warmer, to look forward to amild winter, that snow is a thing of the past, and therefore there is
no need to waste your tax money on silly things like winter preparation, you as

New Mexico Gas Company is
speaking for the first time about why tens of thousands of New Mexicans have no
natural gas service.The company blames supply
and demand, and a lack of pressure to push the gas through the pipelines.Power blackouts in Texas
have cut off power to compressors in West Texas that feed gas into New Mexico.

Governor Susanna Martinez
has declared a state of emergency in regards to the widespread natural gas
outages reported throughout the state.New Mexico Gas Company
officials say up to 24,000 customers statewide are without natural gas Thursday.The primary areas affected
include Albuquerque, Bernalillo, Espanola, Otero County, Taos, Red River,
Questa, Silver City, Santa Clara Pueblo, Okway Owingeh Pueblo and portions of
San Ildefonso Pueblo.The utility says the demand
is high because of the extremely cold weather across New Mexico.The company also says
rolling blackouts in West Texas have impeded the delivery of natural gas coming
into New Mexico.

SILVER CITY Rolling power
blackouts in west Texas caused a drop in gas pressure which led New Mexico Gas
Company to shut off gas to about 300 Silver City residents and shut down area
schools as well.Grant County Manager Jon
Saari said Thursday morning that the gas company advised him that 300 residents
in the Indian Hills area would be shut off so the company could monitor gas
pressure.

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - For
people waiting since Thursday for gas, hot water and heat, a map on the
Southwest Gas web site Sunday held some bad news. It's how Southwest Gas broke
the news that for an area west of Sabino Canyon Road it'll be at least Monday
before technicians come to turn on the gas."It's really
unfortunate, we actually just got back from the hotel. We were thinking after
48 hours away we would get some heat," Dr. John Daniel said. "And the
first night we spent it was kind of unbearable. We had the dual Snuggie thing,
the Snuggie on front and the Snuggie on back and that didn't really work. So,
my wife got fed up so I said we could go away and get some warm water and give
the kids baths."

People in heat-starved Taos
County are starting to take matters into their own hands after five days in the
cold, many relighting their furnaces themselves instead of waiting for the gas
company.Residents are raiding the
wood pile and heaping up the blankets as they prepare for another night in the
deep freeze made almost unbearable by the shortage. It’s gone as long as six
days for some in a state that’s one of the biggest natural gas producers in the
nation.“Our community is
frustrated right now, and while I understand New Mexico natural gas is making
every good faith effort to get this restored, at this point it’s not good
enough because a good majority of our constituents are without heat,” said Taos
Mayor Darren Cordova.

The
record-setting snow and cold afflicting much of the nation in recent weeks
doesn’t seem to jibe with Al Gore’s dire warnings about global warming. But
Gore has an explanation for what’s causing the wintry conditions: global
warming.

Gore then quoted an article by
Clarence Page in the Chicago Tribune in early 2010: “In fact, scientists have
been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms
more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air
collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures
dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow.

As the Met Office desperately tries to
salvage its reputation, another of this 'warm' winter's ice disasters is
unfolding in the Sea of Okhotsk, writes Christopher Booker.
First it was a national joke. Then its professional failings became a national
disaster. Now, the dishonesty of its attempts to fight off a barrage of
criticism has become a real national scandal. I am talking yet again of that
sad organisation the UK Met Office, as it now defends its bizarre record with
claims as embarrassingly absurd as any which can ever have been made by
highly-paid government officials.

Britain and Europe have been
hit hard for the third straight record-breaking winter season. Labeled by
experts as the
coldest winter in 100 years and set to blow well into 2011, it is
already raising some very interesting questions about the new
ideological split we are witnessing throughout society in the much celebrated
green debate.

The
sun went spotless yesterday, the first time in quite awhile. It seems like a
good time to present this analysis from my friend David Archibald. For those
not familiar with the Dalton Minimum, here’s some background info from Wiki:

The
Dalton Minimum was a period of low solar activity, named after the English
meteorologist John Dalton, lasting from about 1790 to 1830.[1] Like the Maunder
Minimum and Spörer Minimum, the Dalton Minimum coincided with a period of
lower-than-average global temperatures. The Oberlach Station in Germany, for
example, experienced a 2.0°C
decline over 20 years.[2] The Year Without a Summer, in 1816, also occurred
during the Dalton Minimum. Solar cycles 5 and 6, as shown below, were greatly
reduced in amplitude.

This
is something you really don’t expect to see this far into solar cycle 24.

But
there it is, the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite shows the sun as a
cueball:

The
Ap index being zero, indicates that the sun’s magnetic field is low, and its
magneto is idling rather than revving up as it should be on the way to solar
max. True, it’s just a couple of data points, but as NOAA’s SWPC predicts the
solar cycle, we should be further along instead of having a wide gap:

The Ap index generally follows
along with the sunspot count, which is a proxy of solar activity.

And
here’s the daily Ap geomagnetic data. The Ap is bumping along the bottom:

Although
solar cycle 24 began almost 3 years ago (officially on January 4, 2008), the
sun continues to be unusually quiet at this point in the solar cycle with
predictions of maximal sunspot activity repeatedly adjusted downward. A key
indicator of solar magnetic activity, the Ap Index (average planetary magnetic
index) has reached the lowest absolute values, lowest 5 year moving average
values, and by far the highest number of continuous months ? 10 since record
keeping by NOAA began in 1932:

The
experiment has a long and bumpy history. The idea is to test the theory that
cosmic rays spur the formation of particles in the air that nucleate clouds, in
turn making skies cloudier and the planet cooler. Researchers have noted a
dearth of sunspots (which is linked to more cosmic rays) during the ‘little ice
age’ of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and a peak in sunspots
(linked to a drop in cosmic rays) during the late 1980s, when global cloudiness
dropped by about 3% (see Nature‘s feature on the project). No one knows how big
this effect might be, and the idea that it might account for a big chunk of the
warming over the last century is highly controversial.

Webmaster's Commentary:

The short version is that the Carbonazis tried to suppress this
experiment, because it posed a threat to their religious doctrine that humans
are to blame for all climate shifts. But the experiment is being run and
indications are that it confirms cosmic rays significantly influence cloud cover,
which in turn significantly influences how much of the sun's heat reaches the
Earth's surface.

A key belief of climate science
theology — that a reduction in carbon emissions will take care of the bulk of
global warming — has been questioned in a scientific paper released by the
Environment Ministry on Monday.

Physicist and the former ISRO
chairman, U.R. Rao, has calculated that cosmic rays — which, unlike carbon
emissions, cannot be controlled by human activity — have a much larger impact
on climate change than The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
claims.

In fact, the contribution of
decreasing cosmic ray activity to climate change is almost 40 per cent, argues
Dr. Rao in a paper which has been accepted for publication in Current
Science, the preeminent Indian science journal. The IPCC model, on the
other hand, says that the contribution of carbon emissions is over 90 per cent.

This means that increased carbon
dioxide emissions in the atmosphere are not as significant as the IPCC claims.
Of the total observed global warming of 0.75 degrees Celsius, only 0.42 degrees
would be caused by increased carbon dioxide. The rest would be caused by the
long term decrease in primary cosmic ray intensity and its effect on low level
cloud cover.

This means that predicting future
global warming and sea level rise is not as simple as the IPCC makes it to be,
since it depends not only on human activity, but also significantly on the
unpredictability of cosmic ray intensity.

“We conclude that the contribution to
climate change due to the change in galactic cosmic ray intensity is quite
significant and needs to be factored into the prediction of global warming and
its effect on sea level raise and weather prediction,” says the paper.

The
IPCC and Climategate scientists, such as Michael Mann, teamed up to rid the
world of the Medieval Warming Period and the Little Ice Age in an effort to
convince the world's politicians and mainstream press that the modern warming
was "unprecedented." Literally, Mann and his colleges presented a
temperature history that had erased the warming and cooling extremes prior to
the modern era.

The
result of that effort was two fold: one, the infamous 'hockey stick' portrayal
of historical temperatures as being a time of little temperature variation was
blatantly contrary to known history and evidence; and two, the recognition by
other scientists and a minority of the public that climate science had become
the complete victim of the governing elites' political agenda.

Scientist Scott Mandia forwarded to
AFP an email he said he sent to Hisas ahead of publication explaining why her
figures did not add up, and noting that it would take "quite a few
decades" to reach a warming level of 2.4 degrees Celsius.

"Even if we assume the higher end
of the current warming rate, we should only be 0.2C warmer by 2020 than today," Mandia wrote.

"To get to +2.4C the current trend would have to immediately
increase almost ten-fold."

Mandia described the mishap as an
"honest and common mistake," but said the matter would certainly give
fuel to skeptics of humans' role in climate change.

Junk science has long been the staple food feeding the
AGW scam, from Climategate through to the fear fantasy that was the 2007 IPCC
report, the science was found wanting.Now the Universal Ecological Fund have produced an AGW
Fear text that is so ludicrous even the Guardian can see it for what it is,
junk science.Argentine based Universal Ecological Fund are
predicting that by 2020 global temperatures will have risen 2.2C, that’s around 7 times the predicted
warming rate that Nasa’s junk science has come up with

The study, by an NGO based
in Argentina, claimed the planet would warm by 2.4C by 2020 and projected dire consequences for
global food supply. A press release for the Food Gap study was carried by
EurekAlert!, the news service operated by the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS) , and the story was picked up by a number of
international news organisations on Tuesday.

“This is happening much
faster than we expected,” Liliana Hisas, executive director of the Universal
Ecological Fund (UEF) and author of the study, said of her findings.

But, in an episode recalling
criticism of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), when the UN
climate science body wrongly claimed the Himalayan glaciers would melt away by
2035• , the UEF claims about rising temperatures over the next decade were
unfounded

Reading between the lines it is starting to look like
The Guardian acknowledges Glaciergate, as it makes reference to Glaciergate and
the UEF report in the same breath.

In an email, Gavin Schmidt,
a Nasa climatologist wrote: “2.4C
by 2020 (which is 1.4C
in the next 10 years – something like six to seven times the projected rate of
warming) has
no basis in fact.”

The entire world will soon
depend on renewable energy so governments ought to start subsidizing these
industries immediately. So said the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) in a report released Tuesday. The study’s conclusion was
such a blockbuster that the panel issued a press release last month previewing
the finding. “Close to 80 percent of the world’s energy supply could be met by
renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies a new
report shows,” it proclaimed.

Since
this statement was supposedly based on actual scientific research, Steve McIntyre,
editor of the Climate
Audit blog, did what the IPCC must have assumed nobody would bother doing.
He checked the sources cited in the report. He discovered the IPCC’s banner
claim was not the work of prestigious and disinterested scientists toiling away
in a laboratory, but of hacks with a political agenda and direct financial
stake in the issue.

The 80 percent claim was lifted directly from a paper entitled, “Energy
evolution 2010 – a Sustainable World Energy Outlook,” whose primary authors
included Sven Teske
from Greenpeace
and Christine
Lins from the European
Renewable Energy Council (EREC).
According to the latter group’s website, it is “the united voice of the
European renewable energy industry.” EREC
speaks on behalf of the companies that make windmills, solar panels and other
uneconomic forms of energy that rely upon heavy government subsidies to turn a
profit. Not surprisingly, the IPCC’s primary goal has been to browbeat
governments around the world into pouring taxpayer cash into this rent-seeking
industry.

In addition to being the source of the 80 percent claim, the Greenpeace activist
also happened to be a primary author of the relevant chapter of the new IPCC
report, “Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change
Mitigation” (SRREN). The incestuous relationship is not limited to Mr. Teske. Greenpeace and the
renewable-energy lobby jointly released a version of the “Energy evolution”
report that contained a forward by Rajendra K. Pachauri, the IPCC’s director
general.
The IPCC sees nothing wrong with this arrangement. “The IPCC relies on a wide
range of expertise including authors from the business sector as well as from
NGOs and academia,” IPCC spokesman Rockaya Aidara told The Washington Times. “Sven Teske is one
of nine lead authors of Chapter 10 of the SRREN. Two coordinating lead authors
have overseen the process of writing this chapter. It was a balanced team work
with different views and expertises represented.”

Claims of balance are hardly credible when the process is infiltrated by
ideologues and industry insiders looking to apply the veneer of science to
their craven grab for other people’s cash. Fortunately, the days when leftists
could get away with passing off their global-warming scare stories unchallenged
are over. Skeptics smell blood and closely examine every document, frequently
identifying gaping holes in logic and credibility.

New Zealand’s Climate
Science Coalition has issued a press release detailing
the end of the Kiwi-gate affair.The outcome is that data
published in 2009 by New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric
Research (NIWA) entitled ‘Are we feeling warmer yet’ has been abandoned
and replaced with real, unadjusted data that shows a picture that warmists
don’t want you to see:NIWA makes the huge
admission that New Zealand has experienced hardly any warming during the last
half-century. For all their talk about warming, for all their rushed invention
of the “Eleven-Station Series” to prove warming, this new series shows that no
warming has occurred here since about 1960. Almost
all the warming took place from 1940-60, when the IPCC says that the effect of
CO2 concentrations was trivial. Indeed, global temperatures were falling during
that period.The dishonesty behind the
original data was in the adjustments, of course:Almost all of the 34
adjustments made by Dr Jim Salinger to the 7SS have been abandoned, along with
his version of the comparative station methodology.When the Climate Science
Coalition announced its intention to sue, the green establishment rushed
to NIWA’s defence:University of Otago
pro-vice chancellor of sciences Keith Hunter has also backed Niwa, saying
taking court action against it was “stupid,” while the Environmental Defence
Society (EDS) said it may join court action in support of Niwa. “On the
face of it, it’s hard to see how the issue can properly be brought before the
court,” said EDS chairman Gary Taylor. “We have
no doubts that the science behind global warming predictions is robust and
reliable and would wish to support the institute in any way that we can.”How do you prefer your crow
Mr. Taylor?That NIWA was forced to
correct their temperature records to reveal no warming when the initial report
was crafted to support the warmist narrative is significant. The
Climategate affair was damning in its revelations of peer-review process
corruption and bullying but the establishment whitewashed the truth with
‘investigations’ to give Phil Jones et al cover. Not so with Kiwigate,
where NIWA admitted it could not support its own data in a statement of
defence.The correction of the
record is a good win for the Climate Science Coalition and for science in
general.

The
scientists doing the fabrication are usually employed by the government
agencies or universities, which thrive and exist on taxpayer research dollars
dedicated to global warming research. A classic example of this is the New
Zealand climate agency, which is now admitting their scientists produced bogus
"warming" temperatures for New Zealand.

Climate Science Coalition VindicatedBoMshell: feeble support
from Aussie peersNIWA has abandoned the
official national temperature record and created a new one following sustained
pressure from the NZ Climate Science Coalition and the Climate Conversation
Group.Spokesman for the joint
temperature project, Richard Treadgold, Convenor of the CCG, said today: “We
congratulate NIWA for producing their review of the NZ temperature record —
more than a year after we challenged it — and we think it’s great that NIWA
have produced a graph with full details behind it.

“But
we note that, after 12 months of futile attempts to persuade the public,
misleading answers to questions in the Parliament from ACT and reluctant but
gradual capitulation from NIWA, their relentless defence of the old temperature
series has simply evaporated. They’ve finally given in, but without our efforts
the faulty graph would still be there.”

Mr Treadgold
described the replacement as a full exoneration of the criticism levelled at
the Coalition by NIWA, saying: “All we ever asked for were the adjustments and
the reasons for them. The discourteous reproaches and misleading academic
references we received from them were surprising. For them finally to agree
with us, throw away the series and recreate it is a complete vindication for
us.”

Commentary:

The reason there is so much political power behind the global warming
hoax, enough to wrest both a Nobel Peace Prize and an Academy Award for Al
Gore's fake documentary, is that over and above the vast sums of money to be
gained by the plotters, the created need for a global environmental authority
is the third pillar on which the push for a global government is founded; the
other two being the global pandemic which fizzled last year and the global
financial disaster, which is popularly viewed as caused by globalism rather
than to be saved by it. So, with the other two pillars already cracked and
rotted, global warming is seen as the best chance for the imposition of a new
global government. And don;t take my word for it!

for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global community will
inevitably have multiple political consequences. Perhaps the most important of
them will be a gradual change in the status of the United Nations. Inevitably,
it must assume some aspects of a world government." - Mikhail Gorbachev, State
of the World Forum

"In my view, after fifty years of service in the United Nations
system, I perceive the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper Earth
government. There is no shadow of a doubt that the present political and
economic systems are no longer appropriate and will lead to the end of life
evolution on this planet. We must therefore absolutely and urgently look for
new ways." - Dr Robert Muller, UN Assistant Secretary General

"Nations are in effect ceding portions of their sovereignty to the
international community and beginning to create a new system of international
environmental governance as a means of solving otherwise unmanageable
crises." - Lester Brown, WorldWatch Institute

Do you get it? Do you see what the agenda has been all along? It is about
money and power and global domination of the billions by the few. The danger
for the future of humanity is great. A global government brought into creation
through fraud and deception is a global government that cannot ever allow
freedom of speech, freedom of thought, or freedom of inquiry. A global
government brought into creation through fraud and deception will have to be
history's greatest tyranny merely to survive the darkness of its own birth.

In
response to a previous FOIA request, U.Va. denied these records existed.
However, during Cuccinelli's pre-investigation under the Virginia Fraud Against
Taxpayers Act ("FATA"), a 2007 law passed unanimously by Virginia's
legislature, which clearly covers the work of taxpayer-funded academics, U.Va.
stunningly dropped this stance. For this reversal, the taxpayers of Virginia
owe Cuccinelli a debt of gratitude.

Still,
the school has spent upward of half a million dollars to date fighting
Cuccinelli's pursuit, now before the Virginia Supreme Court. However,
Virginia's transparency statute FOIA gives the school one week to produce the
documents, and offers no exemption for claims U.Va. is using to block
Cuccinelli's inquiry.

Webmaster's Commentary:

One of the bright stars of the global warming cult may turn out to be a
crook!

How
do we know there’s a scientific consensus on climate change? Pundits and the
press tell us so. And how do the pundits and the press know? Until recently,
they typically pointed to the number 2,500 — that’s the number of scientists
associated with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Those 2,500, the pundits and the press believed, had endorsed the IPCC
position.

To
their embarrassment, most of the pundits and press discovered they were
mistaken — those 2,500 scientists hadn’t endorsed the IPCC’s conclusions, they
had merely reviewed some part or other of the IPCC’s mammoth studies. To add to
their embarrassment, many of those reviewers from within the IPCC establishment
actually disagreed with the IPCC’s conclusions, sometimes vehemently.

Institutionally biased to the Left,
politically correct and with a rudderless leadership. This is Peter Sissons’
highly critical view of the BBC in his new memoirs, in which he describes his
fascinating career over four decades as a television journalist. Here, in the
latest part of our serialisation, he reveals how it was heresy at the BBC to
question claims about climate change

The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
keeps going up and up, but public interest in climate change is sinking.
Environmentalists are trying to come up with new ways to make the issue sexy.
But shock tactics can backfire all too easily.Climate change used to make
headlines. But these days the issue appears to have largely fallen off the
radar. World leaders recently
negotiated a new climate agreement at the United Nations Climate Change
Conference in Cancun, Mexico, but public interest in the issue was limited. It
was a marked contrast to the UN climate conference in Copenhagen in December
2009, which had been declared of historic importance in the runup to the
meeting, only to then fail spectacularly. The theft of e-mails from the
University of East Anglia had badly damaged the image of climate research shortly before
the summit.Environmentalists and
scientists are concerned about the massive drop in public interest in the topic
over the last year. Now they are looking for new strategies to turn the tide.
They're searching for so-called "mind bombs" -- highly emotional
images that reduce a complex problem down to one core message.Fountains of BloodSome environmental
organizations are placing their bets on the shock factor. One commercial in a
campaign by the British-based environmental organization 10:10 showed a teacher
blowing up two students who were skeptical about cutting their carbon
emissions, with fountains of blood spraying the others in the class. Other
10:10 videos have the same fate befalling recalcitrant office workers and
footballers. But the campaign proved a dud -- it sparked massive protests and
was quickly withdrawn.------------------------------Climate researchers confirm
a noticeable decline in interest. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, director of the
respected Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, recalls that his
telephone used to ring off the hook whenever extreme weather conditions set in.
Now hardly anyone calls, he says. Global warming as an issue
is a "loser" in media terms, an editor at the daily newspaper Tagesspiegel
recently explained on a German TV show.Botched StrategyA survey of 13,000 people
in 18 countries, presented by German international public broadcaster Deutsche
Welle at the Global Media Forum in Bonn in June, suggests that ordinary
citizens are less interested in climate change than was previously thought. The
survey showed, for example, that only one in three Dutch people are concerned
about climate change -- even though the Netherlands is considered especially at
risk from rising sea levels.British science magazine Nature
identified two reasons for this loss of credibility. One was mistakes, made
public around a year ago, in the UN's 2007 climate report. The other was the
so-called "Climategate" scandal involving the e-mails stolen from the
climate researchers at the University of East Anglia. This
leaked correspondence revealed trench warfare that caused scientists to
withhold some data and defend their own results at all costs.Communications researcher
Martin Ludwig Hofmann at the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences
believes that the scandal caused serious damage. "The communication
strategy up until now relied primarily on scientists' credibility,"
Hofmann says. The London Times deemed the PR damage to be worse than
that suffered by BP after its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Prof.
Shearman’s book makes no attempt to hide it’s fascist ideals. The introduction
reads:
In short, Shearman and Smith argue that liberal democracy – considered
sacrosanct in modern societies – is an impediment to finding ecologically
sustainable solutions for the planet.

In
other words they think we need fascism to save the planet.

Shearman
and his co-author Gary Sauer-Thompson, in ‘Green or Gone’ propose the formation
of an ‘elite warrior leadership’ to force the people to change their
lifestyles.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100069775/the-man-who-invented-global-warming/So is AGW the most serious
threat facing the world today, so far as Tickell is concerned? Well, almost.
There is one other threat that he sees as even more urgent than AGW – the human
race itself. Specifically, those feckless, irresponsible classes and nations
that continue to breed at more than the replacement level of 2.1 children
(Tickell, it should be noted, has three children. Considerations of
overpopulation do not apply to his class, of course (1)). For him,
overpopulation is the driving force behind AGW: we are a cancer on the planet.
In language which we would normally expect to come from extremists, Tickell
lays out his vision of the rest of the world.

The
nation's most prominent publicly funded climatologist is officially angry about
this, blaming democracy and citing the Chinese government as the "best
hope" to save the world from global warming. He also wants an economic
boycott of the U.S. sufficient to bend us to China's will.

NASA laboratory head James
Hansen's
anti-democracy rants were published while he was on a November junket in China, but they didn't get much attention
until recently. According to Mr.
Hansen, compared to
China, we are "the barbarians"
with a "fossil-money- 'democracy' that now rules the roost," making
it impossible to legislate effectively on climate change. Unlike us, the
Chinese are enlightened, unfettered by pesky elections. Here's what he blogged
on Nov. 24:

I begin to see why the Carbonazis are still pushing global warming even as
Japan braces for another 39 inches of snow. Global Warming was a key component
of the push for Agenda 21. If the public comes to understand that the dire
forecasts for hotter climate were flat-out wrong, then all the other
prognostications supporting Agenda 21 come into doubt. Agenda 21 loses its
veneer of trying to save the world and stands exposed as just another plot for
a group of elites to rule the world for their own benefit.

P.S. Any warmistas who truly feel that Earth can only be saved by reducing
the human population are hereby invited to leap off the top of the nearest tall
building.

The
real question, however, is why has the Met Office become so astonishingly bad
at doing the job for which it is paid nearly £200 million a year – in a way
which has become so stupendously damaging to our country?

The
answer is that in the past 20 years, as can be seen from its website, the Met
Office has been hijacked from its proper role to become wholly subservient to
its obsession with global warming. (At one time it even changed its name to the
Met Office “for Weather and Climate Change”.) This all began when its
then-director John Houghton became one of the world’s most influential
promoters of the warmist gospel. He, more than anyone else, was responsible for
setting up the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and remained at
the top of it for 13 years.

By far the
biggest story of recent days, of course, has been the astonishing chaos
inflicted, to a greater or lesser extent, on all of our lives by the fact that
we are not only enjoying what is predicted to be the coldest December since
records began in 1659, but also the harshest of three freezing winters in a row.
We all know the disaster stories – thousands of motorists trapped for hours on
paralysed motorways, days of misery at Heathrow, rail passengers marooned in
unheated carriages for up to 17 hours. But central to all this – as the cry
goes up: “Why wasn’t Britain better prepared?” – has been the bizarre role of
the Met Office.

12.11
Although the probability of severely cold winters in the UK is gradually
declining, there is currently no evidence to suggest similar changes in
extremes of snow, winds and storms in the UK.

12.12
We have also explored whether or not the occurrence of two successive severe
winters influences the probability of a third in succession – in other words,
is there any evidence of clustering? There is some small influence from year to
year but these matters are still very uncertain and it would be safer to assume
that there is statistical independence between one winter and the next.

12.13 In other words, we are advised to assume
that the chance of a severe winter in 2010–11 is no greater (or less) than the
current general probability of 1 in
20.

Global
warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial
gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community. Average
temperatures in Britain were nearly 0.6Â°C higher in the Nineties than in
1960-90, and it is estimated that they will increase by 0.2C every decade over the coming century.
Eight of the 10 hottest years on record occurred in the Nineties.

However,
the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold
than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research
scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East
Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and
exciting event".

Today
things are indeed very different. Suddenly all the talk of warm winters in
central Europe has disappeared from the media radar. Instead all the talk is
now about hard winters coming to Europe – due to global warming, of course.

Christopher
BookerAs we count the cost of the freeze,
Government prepares for global warming
The authorities continue to prepare for 'rising temperatures' despite a
succession of unprecedentedly cold winters.

As we emerge, temporarily
perhaps, from weeks of the coldest weather since records began – with snow
disasters right round the northern hemisphere, from the US and Europe to China
and Mongolia – more examples come to light of how the cost of extreme cold is
far greater than that of warming. We already have a £9.6 billion backlog to
cover repairs to roads damaged in previous winters, and the price of repairing
the potholes and crumbling asphalt caused by this winter’s even more intense
cold threatens to raise that by billions more (even though Government cuts will
trim that budget by 15 per cent). In Northern Ireland, 80,000
households were deprived of water by burst mains operated by the state-owned
Northern Ireland Water. Yet as recently as October it published a strategic
plan wholly obsessed by the need to transform its infrastructure to meet the
challenge of global warming. Another frozen chicken
which came home to roost was the crisis confronting many of the eight million
homes now heated by condensing boilers, made compulsory by John Prescott in
2005 as a way of reducing Britain’s carbon footprint. What Mr Prescott failed
to do was impose, on this tightly regulated industry, any requirement that the
pipes to take away the resulting water should not be placed on the outside of
buildings. (Responsibility for this crucial system failure has since been
passed to the Health and Safety Executive.) The result is that up to a
million external pipes froze in December, shutting off the heating. In
Yorkshire alone, British Gas reported 60,000 emergency call-outs, at up to £300 a time – costing householders a fortune
thanks to Mr Prescott’s obsession with global warming. Meanwhile, two days before
Christmas, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs published a
130-page document warning how Britain’s infrastructure will “struggle to cope
with climate change” between 2030 and 2100, as our road, rail and water
networks are threatened by “floods, rising temperatures and higher sea levels”.

What Eschenbach says is so pure and
simple and obvious you’d need to be as dumb as Chris Huhne not to get it:

The theory linking man-made CO2 with
dangerous global warming is dead. It has been falsified. It has run smack bang
into a “null hypothesis.” It has met its Waterloo. It has bought the farm. It
has gone for a Burton. It has cashed in its chips, fallen off its perch, gone
south, gone west, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and
joined the Choir Invisible. Man-made Global Warming has ceased to exist.

Britain’s largest exam board has been
accused of “brainwashing” pupils by forcing them to use an inaccurate
temperature graph that exaggerates the scale of global warming.

Climate experts have accused AQA of
“scientific illiteracy” and “propaganda” after a graph in its most recent
Geography GCSE exam paper contained a series of inaccuracies which magnified
the rise in global temperatures.

The graph wrongly presented the
current warm period as the hottest on record and pinpointed the world’s current
average temperature at 59.5 degrees Fahrenheit (15.3C), when it has in fact never risen above 58.1F (14.52C).

1 “By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply
a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry
people … If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not
exist in the year 2000.”

2 “In ten years all important animal life in the sea
will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of
the stench of dead fish.”

Ehrlich, speech during Earth Day, 1970

3 “[By] 1995, the greenhouse effect would be
desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought,
causing crop failures and food riots…[By 1996] The Platte River of Nebraska
would be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will
stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers.”

10 But of course, who could forget the
Australian BOM which predicted that “The national outlook for total
rainfall over spring (September to November), is neutral for most of the
country” which was promptly followed by record downfalls and widespread
floods with some areas getting 400% of the average rainfall. The only part of
the country the BOM predicted “a wetter than normal spring” was
in South West WA (which recorded one of its driest springs since measurements
began).

But
this is what most people see: If it’s an arctic freeze, it’s global warming. If
it’s unseasonably mild, it’s global warming. If it rains harder than normal,
why that is exactly what we would expect with global warming! Drought? Ditto.
Heat wave–well of course, the earth is warming! Neither rain, nor snow, nor
hail, nor sleet, nor baking sun, nor hurricanes, nor lack of hurricanes–or for
that matter, any unusual weather pattern or condition–can stop some some global
warming scientists from blaming global warming. Whatever it is. Wherever it is.
Whenever it is.

And
that, is precisely why fewer and fewer people are paying attention.

Britain's
winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental
change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

Sledges,
snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has
settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as
warmer winters - which scientists are attributing to global climate change -
produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and
Februaries.

So why are they being so
irrational about this? Why all the hating on searching for information? It
could just be innumeracy, which is of a piece with their buying into anti-CO2
alarmism in the first place. But maybe they really are trying to stop their
minions from checking the facts for themselves.That would actually make
sense from their point of view, and why else would they omit the figures that
put the energy costs of online searches into perspective? It seems that the
eco-religionists really are trying to minimize Google searching, just as they
want to drastically reduce car driving, plastic bag use, and butt wiping.
Avoidance of information search has apparently been added to their list of
eco-sacraments.

THE
COLD spell Ireland and the rest of northern Europe has been experiencing may,
paradoxically, be the result of global warming, rather than evidence it is not
happening, according to the most recent scientific research.

The
Journal of Geophysical Research suggested a link between diminishing levels of
sea ice in the Arctic and an increased probability of harsh winters across
Europe, saying these “do not conflict the global warming picture, but rather
supplement it”.

As Britain braces itself
for the coldest winter since 1927 the warming alarmists have already worked out
the cause, Global Warning or Climate Change or Climate Disruption.Now the eco mentalists at
the Potsdam Institute reckon that using their dodgy computer model and junk
science they can prove just that

The
overall warming of the earth’s northern half could result in cold winters. The
shrinking of sea-ice in the eastern Arctic causes some regional heating of the
lower levels of air – which may lead to strong anomalies in atmospheric
airstreams, triggering an overall cooling of the northern continents, a study
recently published in the Journal of Geophysical Research shows. “These
anomalies could triple the probability of cold winter extremes in Europe and
northern Asia,” says Vladimir Petoukhov, lead author of the study and climate
scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. “Recent severe
winters like last year’s or the one of 2005-06 do not conflict with the global
warming picture, but rather supplement it.”

You have to grant a certain
grudging respect to these people, no matter how ludicrous their statements all
roads eventually lead to Anthropogenic Global Warming, sheer brazen effrontery
does not even get close!

“Our
simulations reveal a rather pronounced nonlinear response of air temperatures
and winds to the changes of sea-ice cover,” Petoukhov, a physicist, says. “It
ranges from warming to cooling to warming again, as sea ice decreases.” An
abrupt transition between different regimes of the atmospheric circulation in
the sub-polar and polar regions may be very likely. Warming of the air over the
Barents-Kara Sea seems to bring cold winter winds to Europe. “This is not what
one would expect,” Petoukhov says. “Whoever thinks that the shrinking of some
far away sea-ice won’t bother him could be wrong. There are complex
teleconnections in the climate system, and in the Barents-Kara Sea we might
have discovered a powerful feedback mechanism.”

Somebody needs to educate
these junk scientists about the difference between a conditional (might) and an
absolute (will), but then again their minds are made up and they are only
looking for a cause that matches their effect.Here is what Piers
Corbin has
to say.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Desperation on the cusp of madness, and a demonstration why belief must be
abandoned as a model for thought and behavior.

There
are several ways to describe the relation between winter temperature and
snowfall….

*
Colder winters are three times more likely to be snowier than the median.
* Snowy winters are three times more likely to be cold.
* Warm winters are three times more likely to have less snow than the median.
* Less snowy winters are three times more likely to be mild.

One
way the relation between snowfall and winter temperature CANNOT be described is
that warmth leads to more big snowstorms and greater total winter snowfall.

The
not-so-obvious short answer is that the overall warming of the atmosphere is
actually creating cold-weather extremes.

Webmaster's Commentary:

This op-ed did not have a place for comments (big shock there). Here is
the letter I just sent to the New York Times, which they probably will not
print, but you should post anywhere you see more of this warm = cold nonsense.

THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN POSTED TO
WHATREALLYHAPPENED.COM, SINCE THERE WAS NO COMMENTING ALLOWED ON THE ORIGINAL
ARTICLE. ANY REPLIES YOU CARE TO SEND WILL BE POSTED ALONGSIDE THIS COMMENTARY.

I hope the New York Times is smart enough to understand that this claim
that global warming makes cold weather is not science, but science fiction; a
plot device lifted from the science fiction movie “The Day After Tomorrow”, and
interestingly enough the same film Al Gore stole computer-generated ice
cracking from for his so-called “documentary”.

The global warming cult and its financial arm, the “Carbonazis”, have
invested a huge amount of time and money and political capital selling the need
for a carbon tax to the world, to fund the new global environmental authority
as a step towards global government. But three harsh winters in a row have
sounded the death knell for the warmista predictions, and this “hot climate
makes cold weather” nonsense is a Hail Mary pass to save the agenda in the face
of harsh winter reality setting in, by claiming that the cold weather is what
the theory of global warming predicted.

Interesting fact: the Chairman of the Met Office board, Robert Napier, is
or has been:
* Chairman of the Green Fiscal Trust*
* Chairman of the trustees of the World Centre of Monitoring of Conservation
* a director of the Carbon Disclosure Project
* a director of the Carbon Group
* Chief executive of the World Wildlife Fund UK
He is also a member of the Green Alliance.

Entire careers and funding have been built on the theory that the Earth is
getting warmer, and people like JUDAH COHEN, whose blurb indicates is part of
the global warming establishment, are writing now that heat causes freezing in
an effort not to lose their jobs and funding despite having totally blown
predicting what was going to happen.

There is more at stake here than just academic tenure and scientific
funding. Around the world, local governments struggling with the harsh economy
have heard the constant proclamations of warmer winters and have slashed their
budgets for winter preparations, secure in the knowledge they would not need as
much road grit, ploughs, or fuel oil as previous winters.

The result is that the disaster of these last three winters has been
magnified by lack of adequate preparation. Already Britain has sold out of
standard snow tires and is running out of road grit. Budgets for winter
contingencies are already exhausted across Europe, and most tragic of all, the
millions of people made homeless by the Wall Street excesses of the last ten
years are freezing to death as heating fuel for shelters and warming centers
runs out. Dozens have died just in Santa Barbara California.

The blood of all those dying in winter accidents on unprepared roads, or
freezing to death, is on the hands of those academics, media pundits, and
scientists, who all signed onto the global warming agenda because it was
fashionable and trendy and the source of vast amounts of research grants,
together with the investors who planned to do to the entire world with carbon
what Enron had done to California with electricity; force people to buy a
carbon credit, a mythical commodity literally created out of thin air that was
planned to fuel the next great Wall Street bubble.

The New York Times does itself and its readers a grave disservice when it
runs op-ed pieces by environmentalists with clear conflicts of interest,
especially when said op-ed ignored a decade of predictions of warmer winters to
claim that record cold is what their pet science-fiction theory actually
predicted, and that one can make ice by heating a pan of water on the stove.

Scientists
have established a link between the cold, snowy winters in Britain and melting
sea ice in the Arctic and have warned that long periods of freezing weather are
likely to become more frequent in years to come.

The plain fact is the Earth is not doing what the "carbonazis"
predicted it would, and now the scammers are trying to protect their carbon
credit scheme with this silly idea that you can make ice by boiling a pan of
water!

Those of who have long been
in denial about the realities of global warming and the credibility of the
IPCC, can now feel relieved, there may be hope for us yet. The diagnosis has
been made; we have a psychological problem, which so far has failed to respond
to the millions upon millions of dollars spent in “communicating” climate
change to the masses.However, the process of our
redemption is already underway: A new publication called “Communicating climate
change to mass public audiences” has just been presented to the UK Department
of Energy and Climate Change, by the “Climate Change Communication Advisory
Group”.

Facing Climate Change is the first
national conference to specifically explore ‘climate change denial’.

This conference aims to strengthen
our awareness of the challenge facing us and to enhance our capacity for
effective decision-making and action. It will do this by bringing together a
group of people – climate change activists, eco-psychologists, psychotherapists
and social researchers – who are uniquely qualified to assess the human
dimensions of this human-made problem.

Professor Paul Hoggett is helping to
organise the conference, he said, “We will examine denial from a variety of
different perspectives – as the product of addiction to consumption, as the
outcome of diffusion of responsibility and the idea that someone else will sort
it out and as the consequence of living in a perverse culture which encourages
collusion, complacency, irresponsibility.”

MorseYet, it’s not enough to
report only about melting sea ice. An additional instrument has to be found to
emotionalize the event. This year that instrument is no longer the polar bear,
trapped on a single tiny chunk of ice. That’s out. The new symbol of climate
doom this year is the lovable walrus – odobenus rosmarus.Practically every major
German media outlet has reported on the “plight” of the poor walrus, “forced to
flee” to the Alaskan beaches because of the “dramatic” ice melt. It’s the
latest unprecedented event that’s proof of anthropogenic global warming.

pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are included.* In effect, this bill
prevents you from selling your home without the permission of the EPA

ELECTRIC cars could produce higher emissions over their lifetimes than
petrol equivalents because of the energy consumed in making their batteries, a
study has found.

An
electric car owner would have to drive at least 129,000km before producing a net saving
in CO2. Many electric cars will not travel that far in their lifetime because
they typically have a range of less than 145km
on a single charge and are unsuitable for long trips. Even those driven 160,000km would save only about a tonne
of CO2 over their lifetimes.

The
British study, which is the first analysis of the full lifetime emissions of
electric cars covering manufacturing, driving and disposal, undermines the case
for tackling climate change by the rapid introduction of electric cars.

The
study was commissioned by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, which is jointly
funded by the British government and the car industry. It found that a mid-size
electric car would produce 23.1 tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime, compared with
24 tonnes for a similar petrol car. Emissions from manufacturing electric cars
are at least 50 per cent higher because batteries are made from materials such
as lithium, copper and refined silicon, which require much energy to be
processed.

Many
electric cars are expected to need a replacement battery after a few years.
Once the emissions from producing the second battery are added in, the total
CO2 from producing an electric car rises to 12.6 tonnes, compared with 5.6
tonnes for a petrol car. Disposal also produces double the emissions because of
the energy consumed in recovering and recycling metals in the battery. The
study also took into account carbon emitted to generate the grid electricity
consumed.

— Once broken, a compact fluorescent light bulb continuously releases mercury
vapor into the air for weeks to months, and the total amount can exceed safe
human exposure levels in a poorly ventilated room, according to study results
reported in Environmental Engineering Science, a peer-reviewed online only
journal published monthly by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.

State lawmakers have passed
a bill that allows Texans to skirt federal efforts to promote more efficient
light bulbs, which ultimately pushes the swirled, compact fluorescent bulbs
over the 100-watt incandescent bulbs many grew up with.The measure, sent to Gov.
Rick Perry for consideration, lets any incandescent light bulb manufactured in
Texas - and sold in that state - avoid the authority of the federal government
or the repeal of the 2007 energy independence act that starts phasing out some incandescent
light bulbs next year.

Those light-emitting diodes marketed
as safe, environmentally preferable alternatives to traditional lightbulbs
actually contain lead, arsenic and a dozen other potentially hazardous
substances, according to newly published research.

“LEDs are touted as the next
generation of lighting. But as we try to find better products that do not
deplete energy resources or contribute to global warming, we have to be
vigilant about the toxicity hazards of those marketed as replacements,” said
Oladele Ogunseitan, chair of UC Irvine’s Department of Population Health &
Disease Prevention.

and drag under the water.

Research
published in Nature suggests birds with flipper bands respond differently to
the climate by arriving later on Possession Island, off Antarctica, than those
untouched.

Webmaster's Commentary:

So, our wonderful environmentalists stick these radio tags on penguins,
which may be killing them, and in any event slows down the penguins to the
point where the radio data is meaningless, because it doesn't reflect the
behavior of the non-tagged penguins.

Greenpeace
lost no time, of course, in pointing the finger squarely at global warming, and
issued a press release, demanding Israel abandon construction of a new coal
power station, and calling for all comrades to join the “international
struggle”.

The
cause of this particular fire was, sadly enough, the good intentions of a
participant in the Rainbow Festival that was being held at the site. For
ecological reasons, she burned toilet paper she had used so as not to leave it
in nature, and in normal circumstances, that would have been the thing to do.
However, due to the strong winds and the unseasonable hot air, the dry grasses
caught on fire immediately, and the fire spread in four different directions
simultaneously.

If the money for wars was spent on inventions for
energy we won't need oil.Bore hole technology is cool, drill down 20 meters to
the earths core, and use the heat, just as they do in Iceland.Simple, 24/7 energy... ANDIn the summer when it's hot you reverse the heating so
that it becomes air conditioning, houses have a constant temperature in winter
and summer.Do you see any mines that need central heating? There
you go.In new houses, when they dig the foundations, they can
lay the pipes, even about 7 foot down is enough - below the frost and can be
used as basic heating (low, but stable).

November 2010The threat to tropical
rainforests from climate change may have been exaggerated by environmentalists,
according to a new study.Researchers have shown that
the world's tropical forests thrived in the far distant past when temperatures
were 3 to 5C
warmer than today.They believe that a wetter,
warmer future may actually boost plants and animals living the tropics.The findings, published in
the respected journal Science, come from a study of pollen trapped in rocks during
a natural period of global warming 56.3million years ago.

climate change 'has been exaggerated by environmentalists'

The extreme warm spell -
called the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum - saw global temperatures soar by 6C (11F)
within a few thousand years.The cause of the PETM is unknown.
However, some scientists believe it was triggered by the release of vast
amounts of carbon dioxide from volcanic activity over a few thousand years.The injection of carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere set off a spiral of events that warmed the climate
and led to even more greenhouse gas entering the atmosphere, they say.

Forests in many regions are
becoming larger carbon sinks thanks to higher density, U.S. and European
researchers say in a new report.In Europe and North
America, increased density significantly raised carbon storage despite little
or no expansion of forest area, according to the study, led by Aapo Rautiainen
of the University of Helsinki, Finland, and published in the online,
open-access journal PLoS One.Even in the South American
nations studied, more density helped maintain regional carbon levels in the
face of deforestation.

First, the blackbirds fell out of the
sky on New Year's Eve in Arkansas. In recent days, wildlife have mysteriously
died in big numbers: 2 million fish in the Chesapeake Bay, 150 tons of red
tilapia in Vietnam, 40,000 crabs in Britain and other places across the world.
Blogs connected the deadly dots, joking about the "aflockalypse"
while others saw real signs of something sinister, either biblical or
environmental.

The reality, say biologists, is that
these mass die-offs happen all the time and usually are unrelated.

Federal records show they happen on
average every other day somewhere in North America. Usually, we don't notice
them and don't try to link them to each other.

Police closed a section of downtown

Commentary:

This story is from 2007,
which confirms that these events do happen all the time, without needing to
scream "Chemtrails", or "HAARP", or "shifting magnetic
fields", or "UFO invasion!" The birds and fish that are dying
are in most cases simply perishing from hypothermia, albeit cyanide is the most
likely cause for the bird deaths in Italy reported further down the page.

Let's
get something straight; the climate is supposed to change. In 4 1/2 billion
years, there has never been a time when the Earth's climate remained exactly
the same. Careful study of the geological and paleontological record shows that
the climate is always changing; that the Earth is always getting warmer or
colder in long hundred thousand year cycles.

At present the earth is far
colder than the Cretaceous but far warmer than the ice ages. Given that the
Earth has only recently come out of the Little Ice Age, it stands to reason we should
be getting warmer. It is this idea that the Earth can or should be locked into
a particular configuration that is artificial and unnatural. And who was to
decide what the ideal temperature of earth should be? What is ideal for people
living at the equator is hardly ideal for people living in the polar regions. Global warming cultists
like to talk about the balance of nature. This is a very romantic term, and
sounds worthy of preservation. But there is no balance of nature. Nature is
change. Nature is chaos. Nature is one life form going extinct while another
evolves into being. Nature has never been in balance; it is in fact careening
through time colliding with the landscape.Is there really a crisis?
Would it really be a bad thing if the Earth were getting warmer?Warmer temperatures mean
longer growing seasons. Longer growing seasons mean more food. And at a time
when much of the world's population are going hungry, more food is a good
thing.Is
carbon dioxide really such a bad thing? Carbon dioxide occurs naturally. The major
sources are volcanoes and respiration from animal life on Earth. As carbon
dioxide increases plant life which uses carbon dioxide for photosynthesis will
grow more abundantly. Again, producing more food. There are even companies
which will install carbon dioxide enhancement systems for commercial
greenhouses because it has been proven that increased carbon dioxide stimulates
plant growth and larger crops.Is carbon dioxide a
greenhouse gas? Yes, it is. But it is not the only one. Water vapor is by far
the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Methane is also a
greenhouse gas, more potent than carbon dioxide. But you cannot tax water
vapor, and methane is produced by termites and deep-sea microbes, which are far
too intelligent life forms to submit to carbon taxes, so the global warming
cultists have settled on carbon dioxide as the villain because a portion of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be traced to human activity.How much atmospheric carbon
dioxide comes from human activity? Not including respiration, human
contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide is .28% of the total atmospheric
carbon dioxide. A closer look at the numbersNow this may not seem like
very much, and indeed it isn't. With volcanoes producing far more carbon
dioxide than humans, one wonders what all the fuss is about regarding our cars
and industry. But the global warming cult has a handy explanation. The global
warming cult likes to claim that natural sources of carbon dioxide are already
balanced out by natural sinks for carbon dioxide. Volcanoes are offset by
trees. The carbon dioxide emitted by sea life is absorbed by seaweed. By claiming
that there is no natural counterpart to human caused carbon dioxide the global
warming cult tries to claim that .28% of atmospheric carbon dioxide contributed
by human activity is upsetting the balance of nature. But as we pointed out
before, there is no balance of nature. It is a romantic notion, but simply not
reality. Experiments with enhanced CO2 in
greenhouses confirms that as CO2 levels rise, plants will grow larger, absorb
more CO2, driving levels back down again.

The
Global Warming Fraud

So how do we know we are
dealing with a fraud? As noted above, climate change is something that is
supposed to happen. The world is always getting warmer or colder. The promotion
of a change in the climate as a threat to humankind requiring the paying of taxes
and submission to authority is a manufactured construct. How do we know an agenda is
involved? Simple. If the global warming alarmists were really only interested
in the welfare of the Earth, one would expect them to be delirious with joy
that the threat of anthropogenic global warming doesn't really exist after all.
But quite to the contrary, those whose paychecks are dependent on the global
warming industry are in a total panic to reassure us that, yes, there is a real
danger, and it is all our fault! Another reason we know
Anthropocentric Global Warming is a hoax is that Scientific Method is supposed
to allow for others to double-check the work leading to the theory. In other
words, starting with the same data and applying the same methods, I should get
the same results. But in the case of Anthropocentric Global Warming, this is
impossible. The CRU, in response to Freedom of Information Requests for the raw
data on which they based their dire predictions of doom, first stalled, then admitted they had destroyed the raw data! We mere mortals are expected to
simply take their word their conclusions are accurate. I have to wonder with
all the tens of millions of dollars in funding CRU enjoyed, why they could not
purchase an extra hard drive to save that raw data! In ancient times rulers
ruled by what ever lie would convince the people that they needed to be ruled.
One very common dodge was rule by divine right. I am your ruler because God
said so. But as mankind has evolved and become more sophisticated, and
understands that the idea of God is more a metaphor than reality, rulers intent
on using deception to rule their people have had to come up with more
convincing myths. Obey me and I will save you from the Communists. Obey me and
I'll save you from the terrorists. Obey me and I will save you from global
warming. And so forth...So the push to sell global
government on the basis of human caused global warming is just another
variation on the theme of I am the ruler because the gods hath decreed it so. Maybe it's time for humans
to evolve past this latest deception.As for the actual evidence
calling into question the claims of human caused global warming, we can start
with the very small percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide actually created
by human industry. The attempt by the global warming cult to claim that natural
carbon dioxide is not a problem because nature balances it out, but human caused
carbon dioxide is a threat, betrays the agenda of of taking something that
occurs naturally and focusing the blame for it onto humans in order to guilt
them out of money and obedience.

The list of problems supposedly caused by human-caused global
warming, from Acne to Prostitution, is endless, with more nonsense being added
every day!The major problem that the
global warming cultists have faced is that the Earth has actually been cooling
for almost 12 years now. The global warming cultists attempted to re-brand by
avoiding the term global warming and saying their agenda was to deal with
climate change. Not just any climate change of course but sudden climate
change, again the fault of humans, again requiring taxes and obedience to a
global authority to solve. But re-branding as the climate change cult did not
secure the fact that the predictions for a warming globe were simply not
panning out. It was at this point that institutions dependent on funding to
study human caused global warming began to adjust their data in order to, as
CRU put it, "conceal the decline". Otherwise, trust in the climate
scientist was going to be undermined by the fact that they had obviously
totally blown which way the temperatures of earth were going, predicting that
they were going up when in fact they were demonstrably in decline.

IPCC predictions in yellow/orange, real world in blue/green

Blue line is the raw data. The red line is the "value
added" data the IPCC is using.

In one of the CRU emails leaked by a whistle blower, Dr. Phil Jones, head of the CRU
(until forced to step down) openly admits the Earth is getting cooler! "This is from an
Australian at BMRC (not Neville Nicholls). It began from the attached article.
What an idiot. The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain
terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7
years of data..."Clearly from the above Dr.
Phil Jones is well aware that the Earth has been cooling for 7 (now 11) years
and is clearly biased against allowing that information to be made public.
Ultimately, Phil Jones did admit on the record that there has been no warming since 1995.

In a
vote of 7-0, The most prolific climate revisionist editor ever at Wikipedia,
with over 5400 article revisions has been banned from making any edits about
climate related articles for six months.

Webmaster's Commentary:

William Connolley (or associates using his login credentials) altered and
in some cases deleted entirely articles that challenged the orthodoxy of
human-caused global warming. Typical examples were editing articles on the
Roman and Medieval warm periods to downplay the positive benefits warmer
temperatures had, and any articles that suggested increased CO2 would result in
faster plant growth and more food for a starving world.

People are still wondering why there is so much political power behind
this push to sell global warming. More than mere money is at stake, as seen by
the fact that the warmistas were able to wrangle both a Nobel Peace prize and
an Oscar for a "documentary" ruled by the British Courts as
containing numerous lies and misrepresentations.

Beyond the money to be made from a carbon bubble, the push for a global
government and for the implementation of Agenda 21 itself rests on the public
being convinced their present lifestyles are a threat to the planet, in order
to persuade the people to accept a reduced standard of living so that the Wall
Street barons can upgrade to $250,000 wrist watches and $500 hamburgers.

If the dire prediction of global warming fizzles, as it clearly has after
three harsh winters in a row, the credibility of the other doomsday claims
craters right alongside it, and Agenda 21 / Global Government stands revealed
for what they are; just another world power grab by sociopathic money-addicts
intent on standing atop pyramids built to there everlasting glory and
screaming, "I am the king of the world! Gaze on my works ye mighty and
despair!".

This is a new low even for Al Gore as
he reads a personal global warming poem to a CNN reporter.

The problem for Gore is that his home

last year (return & departure); his voice and inflection are impossible to
bear, and he's the most smug, bastard ex-politician I've ever come across.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - (AFP) -
The US Senate voted Thursday to end a $6 billion subsidy for ethanol in a move
that appeared largely symbolic but sends a message about the growing unease on
support for the biofuel made mostly from corn.In a 73-27 vote, the Senate
approved an amendment to end a 45 cent per gallon credit given for blending ethanol
into gasoline and scrap a hefty tariff on ethanol imports.The outcome for the measure
remains uncertain, since the broader bill would need to pass the Senate and the
House of Representatives, but lawmakers said a broad coalition supports the
move to help curb the massive budget deficit...
